To use Observability Pipelines' Splunk HEC destination, you have a Splunk Enterprise or Cloud instance configured with an HTTP Event Collector (HEC) input. You also have the following information available:

- The Splunk HEC token.
- The Splunk HEC token. **Note**: Depending on your shell and environment, you may want to to ensure the environment variable value is not wrapped in quotes.
- The bind address that your Observability Pipelines Worker will listen on to receive logs from your applications. For example, `0.0.0.0:8080`. Later on, you [configure your applications](#send-logs-to-the-observability-pipelines-worker-over-splunk-hec) to send logs to this address.
- The base URL of the Splunk instance that the Worker will send processed logs to. This URL should include the port that is globally configured for Splunk HTTP Event Collectors on your Splunk instance. For example, for Splunk Cloud: `https://prd-p-0mupp.splunkcloud.com:8088`.
- If your HECs are globally configured to enable SSL, then you also need the appropriate [TLS certificates][3001] and password you used to create your private key file.
