Splunk ODBC connection on Power BI error

JorgeM — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 17:32:20 GMT

I am having trouble creating the connection to Splunk Cloud from Power BI.

I have downloaded the latest version of the Spunk ODBC (3.1.1), configured it with what I think my user and password is (We authenticate via an Active Directory with our tenant.), and I have access to the access token in the Splunk cloud console.

The error I am getting is:
Details: "ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Splunk][SplunkODBC] (40) Error with HTTP API, error code: Timeout was reached
ERROR [HY000] [Splunk][SplunkODBC] (40) Error with HTTP API, error code: Timeout was reached"

Not sure how else to try configuring the ODBC connector.

Can you test connecting on port 8089 of your Splunk server to ensure that it is not blocked by a firewall or something? The timeout sounds like a connection or firewall problem.

Hi Marnall,

I curl into my tenant and it looks like none of the IPs that I asked to be whitelisted are getting through. That could be the reason this issue having.

Thank you for the reply.
