How to access Splunk Cloud configuration files?

I was wondering how you go about accessing configuration files on Splunk Cloud (specifically the trail for now). Sorry if this has been answered a bunch, couldn't find it in the listings.

For Splunk Cloud, any task that requires editing a configuration file directly requires filing a support ticket. See Admin tasks in the Splunk Cloud documentation. If you are using the free online sandbox, you won't be able to customize your configuration files except to the extent that you can change settings in the user interface.

I'm a dork. HF. I can just use basic auth instead of figuring out OAuth crapness on the Splunk Cloud.

So this isn't happening on the Splunk Cloud SH. I'd need this for my local, internal Splunk Heavy Forwarder. Anyone have one they can show basic formatting?

So, I'm not editing it on my Splunk Cloud SH. I'm actually setting it up on my internal Splunk HF that pushes to Splunk Cloud. That's where I need to hardcode it. So I just need an example one so the btool doesn't lose its mind when I muck around with it.

Thanks for the quick response. It's a pity but considering how splunk cloud is mostly built it makes sense
