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