Error while sending data via SplunkHECExporter

Av2 — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 12:36:29 GMT

I using the OpenTelemetry Collector to receive and export logs to my Splunk Cloud Instance.
I have a AWS lambda which polls data and runs a OpenTelemetry Lambda layer which receives the logs in the OTLP format and exports it to Splunk cloud Instance using HEC exporter. Below is the configurations for otel

receivers: otlp: protocols: http: exporters: splunk_hec: token: ${SPLUNK_TOKEN} endpoint: ${HEC_ENDPOINT} # Source. See https://docs.splunk.com/Splexicon:Source source: "otel" # Source type. See https://docs.splunk.com/Splexicon:Sourcetype sourcetype: "otel" service: pipelines: logs: receivers: [otlp] exporters: [splunk_hec]

Now, the problem is the splunk_hec exporter fails to send the logs to my splunk cloud Instance.
I get the below errors

max elapsed time expired Post "https://inputs.prd-p-gxyqz.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector/event": EOF max elapsed time expired Post "https://inputs.prd-p-gxyqz.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector/event": context deadline exceeded

Now can you please help me identify the issue.
Also, what exactly should be my HEC Endpoint URL? The documentation says the format should be

<protocol>://http-inputs-<host>.splunkcloud.com:<port>/<endpoint>

But the above format doesn't work.
