Rest API Endpoint: receivers is not found

[nennenpow]

Hi, I am trying to send the events to Splunk 5.0.1 through Rest API. After installed the server and had a look at

https://localhost:8089/services

I found there is no such endpoint "receivers/" and then I did not know how to do next step...

I admit the question is a little bit stupid.
However after searching a lot, I still found no solution.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for reply. The function works fine. It was my fault not to keep trying. I will try Splunk SDK later.
Thanks!

It should be much easier for you to interact with our REST API using our SDKs. Have you looked at any of these yet?

Here is the developer FAQ as well.

Try :

https://localhost:8089/services/receivers/stream
https://localhost:8089/services/receivers/simple
