We had a report using the Splunk PHP SDK running and using a a splunk instance of 6.4.2. We recently upgraded it to 6.6.2 and now it seems we are getting an SSL error that didn't exist before. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Splunk_ConnectException' with message 'Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to 10.10.2.xxx:8089 ' in /var/www/html/kpi/vzw/kpi-report/Splunk/Splunk/Http.php:191

Hi,

Have you checked Known Issues for 6.6.2 release? Note the changes made to SSL.

Good luck!
