Kafka: "Encountered the following error while trying to save: Splunkd daemon is not responding...The read operation timed out"

I am using both the Splunk Add-on for Kafka and Kafka Messaging Modular Input for comparison.

When I am configuring it from Splunk Web, it is giving me the following error:

Encountered the following error while
trying to save: Splunkd daemon is not
responding: ("Error connecting to
/servicesNS/admin/launcher/data/inputs/kafka:
('The read operation timed out',)",)

Can anyone let me know what to change to rectify it?
