Getting Data In

How to troubleshoot "Unspecified upload Error" when trying to upload a simple txt file for Splunk Cloud 6.2?

Attempting to upload (Dropping data in the interface or select file button) simple txt file (time based, pipe-delimited) - approx file size 150MB

Load bar progress gets to 70-80% and then stops - with "Unspecified upload error. Refresh and try again" -

Methods to "debug" the error or know issues?

Splunk Cloud 6.3 upgrades should have been rolled out by now. You should be able to goto the launcher and upload up to 500 GB files. If not open a ticket.

Was this issue fixed? I did not have any issues installing and working Splunk on 64bit Windows and 64 bit Linux. But when I installed the 32-bit Windows version on a third machine, Am getting this error. Was this fixed?

Thanks in advance

Does your Splunk Cloud URL look like https://[humanreadablestring].splunkcloud.com or https://[randomstring].cloud.splunk.com?
