Splunk Enterprise

Setting up Splunk on localhost for AWS Kinesis Firehose Add-on

Hi,

I have installed Splunk Enterprise and would like to use it for data collection using AWS Kinesis Firehose Add-on. I am able to access Splunk via localhost:8000 but when setting up the Splunk destination in AWS I am not sure as to what the value would be for HEC Endpoint. Do we need TLS certificates even for localhost? If so, I read in the documentation(setting up AWS Kinesis Firehose Add-on) that we cannot use self-signed certificates. 

I would like to know:
1. What will be the HEC Endpoint when using localhost splunk?

2. How to get a TLS certificate for localhost if needed?

 

Thanks,

Rithika
