Try the following steps to troubleshoot issues with your Splunk Edge Hub OS, the Splunk Edge Hub mobile app, Splunk App for Edge Hub and AR, and Splunk Edge Hub device.

Troubleshoot Splunk Edge Hub OS

Troubleshoot Splunk Edge Hub OS connectivity using the advanced settings page. You can check if Splunk Edge Hub OS is connected to Splunk services, DNS servers, and the network in the Edge Hub Advanced Settings page. See Access the Edge Hub Advanced Settings page to learn how to navigate to the page.

Each test checks the following connections:

Connectivity test Description Troubleshooting steps
Check Splunk Services Checks if Splunk Edge Hub OS is connected to Spacebridge. Spacebridge connects your Splunk Edge Hub OS to your Splunk platform instance. If Splunk Edge Hub OS isn't connected to Spacebridge, the HEC endpoint might be unreachable. Try using HTTP instead of HTTPS.
Check DNS servers Checks if Splunk Edge Hub OS is able to connect to public DNS services such as Cloudflare and Google. This test checks for network connection. If Splunk Edge Hub isn't able to connect to DNS services, reset your Splunk Edge Hub device to its factory settings and troubleshoot your network connection by checking your VPN or firewall settings.
Check internet connections Checks if Splunk Edge Hub OS is able to connect to to popular websites. This test checks for network connection. If Splunk Edge Hub OS isn't able to connect to popular websites, reset your Splunk Edge Hub device to its factory settings and troubleshoot your network connection by checking your VPN or firewall settings.

Troubleshoot Splunk Edge Hub mobile app

  2. Restart the app.
  3. Login using your Splunk credentials.
  4. Try performing the task again.

Troubleshoot the Splunk App for Edge Hub and AR

See the following table to troubleshoot the Splunk App for Edge Hub and AR:

Issue Troubleshooting steps
HEC name is not valid and the Test Connection results fail during index configuration Open a proper port for the HEC. Use port 8088 for Splunk Enterprise. Use port 403 for Splunk Cloud platform.
Indexes are not created when configuring HEC endpoint Restart your Splunk platform instance and try configuring the HEC endpoint again.
Data collection node host is interrupted or terminates during configuration Restore the node and make sure the HEC is running. Unplug and replug your Splunk Edge Hub power source. The Splunk deployment server contains your host configuration information, and the KV store contains your Splunk Edge Hub configuration, so the Splunk Edge Hub should continue to send data.

Troubleshoot the HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint configuration

The Test Configuration function might not validate all settings depending on your deployment type or network settings. If you encounter issues when using this function, run the following search in the Search and Reporting app to view internal logs and investigate errors:
