Host URL

I am probably asking the most basic question ever, but I'm new to Splunk and just trying to figure out my host url. Examples I'm seeing on the internet regarding my particular use case look something like http://192.168.1.103:8000, but the only thing I've seen in my envinronment is localhost:8000 which doesn't work for what I need. 

 

Trying to pull a dashboard into a web app, for reference on what I'm attempting to do.

Hi

if you are running splunk on your workstation or host where you have your session locally, then you could use http://localhost:8000. Otherwise you must use the dns name or ip of that host where you have installed splunk. And of course you must add :8000 to the end of url to reach the correct port. Wen you are running splunk on remote server you must also check that there is no firewall between your workstation and splunk (both network and host levels).

@brcox9090 In case of localhost your ip would be 127.0.0.1, that is you can also open your splunk using below URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/ 
Also if this reply helped you in solving your problem, an up-vote would be appreciated.
