Whitelisting/Allow list for IP for HEC ingestion - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

I tried to whitelist an ip address for HEC log ingestion and got the error message

"Subnet overlaps Private IP block"

Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks

You are probably entering private IPs - or see this for Splunk's private IPs
