### HTTP Sink Settings

#### URI

Specify the URI for the destination sink. Specify the scheme used to connect, if TLS is required use https, or for plain connections use http.

If a custom port is required append the port after the hostname or address with a colon followed by the custom port.

If a path is required specify this. e.g.:&#x20;

* <https://remote-sink.hypersec.io/endpoint>
* <https://remote-sink.hypersec.io:8443/endpoint>
* <https://remote-sink.hypersec.io>
* <http://remote-sink.hypersec.io/endpoint>
* <http://remote-sink.hypersec.io:8080/endpoint>

#### Method (default: POST)

Specify the HTTP Method used when making the request to the sink. The default method is **POST**.

#### Compression (default: None)

Specify the compression algorithm to use to compress event and metric data. The default compression is **No compression**.

#### Auth Strategy (Optional)

If authentication is required, select either Basic or Bearer auth strategies.

For Basic authentication enter a valid username and password for authenticating with the HTTP sink.

For Bearer authentication enter a valid token for authenticating with the HTTP sink.
