HTTP Event Collector Test Not Working

joydeepm — Sun, 30 May 2021 16:05:25 GMT

Hi,

I am new in Splunk. I have created a Cloud trial version and exploring the HTTP Event Collector , but unable to test using curl or postman after setting up the Event collector token

Request looks like following from windows command prompt:

curl -k http://prd-p-xwh8d.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector -H "Authorization:Splunk mytoken" -d "{\"sourcetype\": \"_json\",\"event\":\"hello world!\"}"

Response: curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection was reset

From Postman:

Request URI: http://prd-p-xwh8d.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector

HTTP Method: POST

Request payload: {"sourcetype": "_json","index":"main", "event":{"name":"hello world!"}}

Authorization:Splunk mytoken

Body: raw

Response: Could not get any response

I have no clue why it is failing. Any lead will be very helpful.

Thanks, Joydeep

Just to add, I am not getting any Global Setting option to enable the token in Cloud version.

@joydeepm Try using the below url

https://http-inputs-prd-p-xwh8d.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector/event

You can also give it a shot using port 443
