Unable to run curl from Splunk search.

Working fine from ssh session:

 

-bash-4.2$ curl -k -u admin:xxxxxxx https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/SA-ITOA/maintenance_services_interface/maintenance_calendar -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"title":"TEST MW","start_time":"1591814852.152","end_time":"1592814852.364","objects": [{"object_type": "entity", "_key": "e7002b20-6b38-49ec-ad2a-29a0be0d2d65"}]}'

{"_key": "5ee1d57e5575d4d6ee5710d1"}


But below search throws error:

 

index=_internal

have you tried to URLENCODE your message?

have you tried validating your json?

The error is saying that the fields are improperly defined.  Most likely due to bad encoding or escaping.
