I have some questions.

1.so do i need 2 ssl certificates? one for HEC endpoint and one for host machine which is a VM.

2. in aem config. should i mention HEC endpoint or host address? 

In blog you mentioned it is saying hec endpoint adderess. check here

https://blog.arborydigital.com/splunk-setup-aem-cloud-service-aemaacs#:~:text=Splunk%20HEC%20endpoint%20address%3A%20(i.e.%20https%3A//splunk.myorganization.com) .

but in docs it mentions host address. check here

Hey Syed -
On your question on SSL certificates, I should have probably made that clearer in the blog post - because Splunk is listening on two different ports (one for the Splunk HEC and one for Splunk Web) those are two different SSL configurations.  They can share the same certificate if you want, but both have to be configured to make it work.  And Adobe does prefer that you keep HEC on 443, even though I've seen it if you plead your case nicely, they'll sometimes let you use an alternate port.  Let me know if that works, I'll definitely update the article accordingly.
