The URLs don't match. You can try this command

curl -H “Authorization:b5eee0af-xxx-xxxxc-9972-9abb7b0f9338” -H “Content-Type: application/json” -XPOST “http://xx.1x1.x.210:8088/services/collector/event” -d '
{
“d”: “xxx”,
“timestamp”: “Sat Dec 15 13:19:36 2019”,
“status”: “up”
}'

But then you'll probably find the data structures don't match. The HTTP Event Collector expects events to arrive in a specific format. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/UsetheHTTPEventCollector#Send_data_to_HTTP_....
