@PickleRick Actually i disabled ssl from http event collect and used “http” in place of “https”. Forget the curl

Don't put a slash at the end of the URL.

@PickleRick >curl -k http://127.0.0.1:8088/services/collector/event
{"text":"The requested URL was not found on this server.","code":404}

OK. So your Splunk server is running on Windows? And you did the HEC configuration how?

@PickleRick I got the issue and fix it. 

workaround : I installed the curl agent and setup the required environmental variable and after that it works fine.

What do you mean by "curl agent"? And what environmental variable?
