It may be that POC's by default are closed where contracted instances the API is open. None the less, if you're needing the functionality during a trial for deciding factors of whether or not to add functionality to an existing contracted instance or whether or not to move forward with a contracted instance in general, I'm certain support and sales would be happy to open up the API for your use case.</P> Fri, 12 Feb 2016 14:37:08 GMT pgreer_splunk 2016-02-12T14:37:08Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-use-Wordpress-Plugin-with-Splunk-Cloud-Trial/m-p/275275#M3447 <P>My company uses Splunk, so I'm learning how to use it on Splunk Lite Cloud Trial.<BR /> I downloaded the Wordpress plugin SplunkVIz from Github and set it to my cloud instance, but it won't connect:</P> <PRE><CODE>Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Splunk_ConnectException' with message 'fopen(https://&lt;hostname&gt;.cloud.splunk.com:8089/services/search/jobs/): failed to open stream: Connection refused' in /home1/reactory/public_html/plumbing101/wp-content/plugins/SplunkViz/splunk-sdk/Splunk/Http.php:118 </CODE></PRE> <P>Stack trace:<BR /> Is this because it is a trial?</P> <P>I also created a fedora VM to test a forwarder, but that also fails with 'cooked connection ...timed out'</P> Mon, 08 Feb 2016 16:24:54 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-use-Wordpress-Plugin-with-Splunk-Cloud-Trial/m-p/275275#M3447 chrisnunchuck 2016-02-08T16:24:54Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-use-Wordpress-Plugin-with-Splunk-Cloud-Trial/m-p/275276#M3448 <P>The person who built that plugin looks to have built it using an on prem installation of splunk not a cloud instance.
