How come my Cb Defense Add-on won't load and is returning the following "Unable to initialize modular input" failure message?

I am unable to get the Cb Defense Add-on to load. This is in a fresh version of Splunk 7.1.3.

I Install the add-on, restart Splunk, click on the add-on link and it just sits there with a"loading" indicator but then never loads. It also eventually gives;

Unable to initialize modular input "carbonblack_defense" defined inside the app "TA-Cb_Defense": Introspecting scheme=carbonblack_defense: script running failed (exited with code 1).

Thanks

If you are that far, you found the typo in props.conf in 2.0.2? That was stopping Splunk from starting at all after I installed this app.

I'm not sure what is causing that error you are seeing - I know if you remove the README/inputs.conf.spec file it goes away.

Anyways, are you using 2.0.2? When I went to download the add-on a couple of weeks ago, 2.0.2 was the default. Now, 2.0.1 is the default, and 2.0.2 is still available and gives the warning, "This version has not passed Splunk AppInspect."

I guess the short answer is if you are using 2.0.2, try 2.0.1. It seems a lot less broken.

I was using 2.0.2. I didn't realize that it was broken. I tried 2.0.1 and everything is working good now. Thank you!
