Is it possible to send a custom data feed to say the REST-based Simple Receiver to my Splunk Cloud instance, or do I need to configure a forwarder on a local Splunk instance?
The simple receivers are available once the API port is accessible,.
However it is not accessible on self service SplunkCloud and trials, only on large SplunkCloud deployments. see http://answers.splunk.com/answers/255535/splunk-sdk-cant-connect-to-splunk-cloud-1.html#answer-30581...
