Splunk Cloud HEC endpoint address do not resolve


I have just created a Splunk Cloud trial account.

I can access perfectly to console with an URL in the form https://prd-p-naaaa.splunkcloud.com where naaaa is a digit and 4 letters.

I have configured an HEC token following the instructions here

But this do not shown the endpoints to use. I have checked the docs in here, and I assume that my HEC endpoint is:

https://http-inputs-prd-p-naaaa.splunkcloud.com

But this address is not DNS resolved.

I have also tried other alternatives, as dot instead minus

https://http-inputs.prd-p-naaaa.splunkcloud.com

Any comment or suggestion will be welcome


Solution

  • Answering my own question:

    In Splunk Cloud Trial the HEC endpoint is in the same host (without prefix) and port 8088.

    So, the URL is, in my case,

    https://prd-p-naaaa.splunkcloud.com:8088/services/collector
