Doing a POC to evaluate, if Splunk is the answer to our open issues. I have WAS7 and Splunk Trial installed on my machine. also installed WAS WebApp and Splunk FA Add-on.
I Was trying to configure Splunk FA Add-on on my local setup to see some sample JVM data. And when i try to verify the confugration by running was_jmxperf.bat i get this error -

Caused by: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket:
