Hi guys, I have free splunk cloud instance https://prd-p-gbdcensored.cloud.splunk.com and I want to send some events via HTTP
to HEC , I tried http-inputs-prd-p-gbdcensored.cloud.splunk.com:8088, inputs-prd-p-gbdcensored.cloud.splunk.com:8088 but no one from these urls responding to my requests, could you please suggest if it possible to use HEC for me and if so then how can I get this working, FYI I have enabled HEC in settings and also enabled token for authorization.

If you are getting a connection refused, make sure the HTTP Event Collector is enabled in Global Settings (Data Inputs >> HTTP Event Collector > Global Settings > Enable).
