I think you need to understand below first: what are common ports used in Splunk and their purpose Little bit network concepts. Splunkweb is web page where you can interact with Splunk and it runs on 8000 port by default. if Splunk is running on your local machine, you could connect Splunk web using url http://localhost:8000 or http://127.0.0.1:8000 and you could connect Splunk web using url https://localhost:8000 or https://127.0.0.1 if ssl is enabled in Splunk web.conf. Splunk has management port i.e 8089 and this is mainly used for managing Splunk using rest API calls. to access Splunk from other machine (not locally), to connect splunkweb the url should be http://ip:8000 or https://ip:8000 if ssl is enabled and your Splunk is not setup with custom port. since you are talking about connecting to Splunk using rest API , the default management port is 8089. first , check the connectivity from the box you are trying to where Splunk is installed over the port 8089 using telnet as I mentioned before. coming to your second question that you can download dashboard from Splunk, I don' t think you can download dashboard , but I am sure you can run searches and fetch results. follow below link. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Search/ExportdatausingRESTAPI
