Free trial- What is the correct HEC-url?

[perl]

Hi, 

I have recently created a splunk-cloud free trial. I then wanted to create a HEC-collector.  I went to : https://prd-p-aaaaa.splunkcloud.com/en-US/manager/launcher/http-eventcollector and added one.  (my id is different) 

I received a token aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa i then followed the the documentation here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.1/Data/UsetheHTTPEventCollector

to create the url for the HEC-collector. It says to use:

<protocol>://http-inputs-<host>.splunkcloud.com:<port>/<endpoint>

so from my understanding it should become: 

https://http-inputs-prd-p-aaaaa.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector/raw  since i want to provide logs over json. 

However if i try to curl that url.. i get 

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: THE_CONFIGURED_HOST

So, what im asking is what is the correct url to use towards the free-trial HEC-collector?

I recent struggled to get some event log data from an auth0 tier. I was using the same hostname format as you've used, on port 8088. Then I ended up looking at auth0's own documentation for getting data into Splunk via the http collector and it said port 443 was used. So I tried this and it worked🤔. I still don't know why, but it works so I'm leaving it alone for now.

In this i think its something with the URL, since it can not be resolved at all. Once the host part has been resolved i could try a port change.

Its not in gcp.  And changeing the url from a '-' to a '.' does unfortunately nothing. if i try to curl it. i get the same result 

curl https://http-inputs.prd-p-aaaaa.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector/raw
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: http-inputs.prd-p-aaaaa.splunkcloud.com

If your cloud stack is in GCP then the URL is https://http-inputs.prd-p-aaaaa.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector/raw
