Inspired by this blog:

I followed the instructions found here:
https://github.com/damiendallimore/SplunkModularInputsJavaFramework/blob/master/alexa/docs/README.md
I've gotten most everything set up and working correctly. However, I don't see where the Splunk Alexa App is listening on any port:
sudo netstat -plnt
... all the normal stuff plus:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4468/splunkd
When configuring the Alexa Stanza, I've tried multiple variations of the endpoint setting. IE.
localhost/alexa
https://localhost/alexa
localhost:443/alexa
mydomain/alexa
https://mydomain/alexa
mydomain:443/alexa
I also have tried restarting the server as well as the Splunk App separately.
Yet no matter what I do, I never see anything on the server actually listening on port 443.
Any ideas?
I also had this, but realised i dint have java 8 installed. Once I corrected that, and restarted and it started listening.
netstat -plnt |grep 443
tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 27185/java
Does the user you are running Splunk as have permission to open ports <1024 ?
