Unable to connect to Splunk server through python script

marisstella

Hello guys,
I have a python script, which collects Host, Port, username, password to create a connection. After this, it will pass the query and fetches the data from splunk.
My script is working perfectly if I run the script in local machine with local machine Host (means, Splunk has installed in the same machine)
But when I use the same script to connect with splunk which is running in AWS machine, it is unable to create a connection.

So what can be the issue?
SSH certificate? if, Yes, how can I specify this attribute in the script?

my script has only these:
host = host,
port = port,
username = username,
password = password

Any other issues?

are you trying to execute the script on your local machine and connect to a Splunk running in AWS?

First check that you can create a TCP connection and it's not blocked by firewall:

curl -vk https://<username>:<password>@<yourSplunkIP>:8089/

for example:

 curl -vk https://marisstella:password@54.1.2.3:8089/
