Hello,

The issues got resolved. The port 8088 was used by other services causing that issue, had to kill that service to resolve that issue. Now working as expected. Thank you so much all.

1. It's much more convenient (and lets people search the content later) if you copy-paste text instead of posting pictures (structured text is best pasted into a preformatted-style paragraph or a code block.

2. Here we only see the result of your action. We have no idea what exactly you did.

Hey @PickleRick 

I was testing using this: 

curl -k http://splunk-hf-1729440419.us-east-1.alb.amazonaws.com:8088/services/collector -H "Authorization: Splunk ad9fe08e-68fb-4b07-876b-94f00bdd0d91" -d '{"event": "Hec Splunk Test"}' -v

After you have pasted whole url and token, please remove that token and generate a new one. Otherwise you could surprise how many will try it!
It’s best to anonymous both url (host part) and token before you post those to community.

Hey @isoutamo 

Thank you for letting me know. But the token and the host URL provided are not the actual, I changed them a little. We should be fine. Thank you so much again.
