Encountering error while setting up Splunk-Twitter connector app

ndas1 — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 14:53:58 GMT

Hi,

On installing the Splunk-Twitter connector app, when I try to set it up with my OAuth settings, I encounter an error as follows:

Encountered the following error while trying to update: In handler 'localapps': Cannot find item for POST arg_name="/data/inputs/script/.%5Cbin%5Cstream_tweets.py/enabled"

What is the solution to this?

I experience the same error when installing another app on Splunk 6.0. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I removed a section of setup.xml that use '/data/inputs/script' endpoint, the error disappeared and the setup page worked. I guess the workaround for this might be to use custom endpoint (via python script) instead.

Ran into the same problem. I ended up changing "%5C" to "/" in the setup.xml and it worked.

Though now I am receiving " Error while posting to url=/servicesNS/nobody/twitter2/storage/passwords/" This error appears even if you follow the before mentioned advice of removing it from the setup.xml file.

You might want to consider configuring Twitter feeds using the REST API modular input like this.
