Hi,

PFB the code i am using to connect to splunk using java sdk.

         HttpService.setSslSecurityProtocol( SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2 );
     ServiceArgs serviceArgs = new ServiceArgs();
     serviceArgs.setHost("mycompanysplunkServer.net");  // complete url https://mycompanysplunkServer.net
     serviceArgs.setPort(8089);
     serviceArgs.setUsername("myusername");
     serviceArgs.setPassword("mypassword");

     // Create a Service instance and log in with the argument map
     Service service = Service.connect(serviceArgs);

     System.out.println(service.getToken().toString());
     for (Application app : service.getApplications().values()) {
         System.out.println(app.getName());
     }

I am able to connect to local splunk using localhost as host. However when i am using mycompanysplunkServer.net to connect to splunk server i am getting connection timeout error.
Below is error stack.

Try this instead:
ServiceArgs serviceArgs = new ServiceArgs();
serviceArgs.setHost("mycompanysplunkServer.net"); // complete url https://mycompanysplunkServer.net
serviceArgs.setPort(8089);
serviceArgs.setUsername("myusername");
serviceArgs.setPassword("mypassword");
serviceArgs.setSslSecurityProtocol( SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2 );
