splunklib client giving SSLError

alnu — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 14:43:07 GMT

I'm trying to make a basic connection with my local instance of splunk, but it's giving me a SSLError. Have setup splunk for the first time on my local system. Did try disabling ssl from a few config files but to no use. Missing something extremely basic here

Splunk Version: 6.4.0
Python Version(which came with Splunk): 2.7.11
Python Version(SDK is using): 2.7.10 [Will it affect it?]

import splunklib.client as client
HOST = "localhost"
PORT = 8000
USERNAME = "admin"
PASSWORD = "changeme"
service = client.connect(host=HOST, port=PORT, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD)
print service.apps.list()

Stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I believe it's your port - you want to use the management port, which is typically 8089, but you can confirm by going to Settings -- Server Settings -- General Settings.

Yes I did figure it out, but since the question was in moderation I wasn't able to delete it. Thanks though!!
