REST API to push data into Splunk

[dhavamanis]

We are trying to push the application real time data into Splunk as part of code base, Do we have any REST API to push the data into Splunk instead of pushing through forwarder.

You can stream data to Splunk using the REST API endpoint /services/receivers/stream - see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.1/RESTAPI/RESTinput#receivers.2Fstream for reference.

Hello i tried using the same, but i don't know where i am doing the mistake, and when the client is trying to send data from their server, it says following error.

~$ curl -kv -H "Accept: application/json" "https://localhost:8089/services/receivers/simple"
* getaddrinfo(3) failed for localhost:8089
* Couldn't resolve host 'localhost'
* Closing connection #0
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'localhost'

Any idea what is happening here..?

***our server changed to localhost
