Receiving '400 Bad Request' when posting data through REST Client. Is there a way to track the detailed description of the error through Splunk logs? If so which log file would help us?

Hi

A 400 means that the request was malformed. In other words, the data stream sent by the client to the server didn't follow the rules

You should check the rest body and the response.

You can check the internal logs of the server.

Thanks
