I have a few issues.</P> <P>On the Status Overview page, I get a message that says "Create an input to monitor a website. Create a website monitoring input now." Clicking that takes me to an Add Data page but the web_ping type (as specified from the URL) is not available and the right side iframe has a 404. </P> <P>When attempting to create inputs on the Create Inputs tab, I get an error that says "1 input was not created." If I attempt to add the checkbox "Dont create input if URL already monitored" I just get a progress bar that doesn't move. </P> <P>Checking the logs for troubleshooting, I see a lot of these</P> <PRE><CODE>2019-10-15 16:07:56,626 ERROR [redacted] proxy:196 - [HTTP 403] Client is not authorized to perform requested action; <A href="https://127.0.0.1:8089/services/shcluster/status?output_mode=json" target="test_blank">https://127.0.0.1:8089/services/shcluster/status?output_mode=json</A> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/controllers/proxy.py", line 174, in index timeout=simpleRequestTimeout File "/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/rest/__init__.py", line 536, in simpleRequest raise splunk.AuthorizationFailed(extendedMessages=uri) AuthorizationFailed: [HTTP 403] Client is not authorized to perform requested action; <A href="https://127.0.0.1:8089/services/shcluster/status?output_mode=json" target="test_blank">https://127.0.0.1:8089/services/shcluster/status?output_mode=json</A> </CODE></PRE> <P>Any help would be appreciated. </P> Tue, 15 Oct 2019 16:17:21 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Unable-to-create-inputs-on-Splunk-Cloud-instance-and-website/m-p/502102#M61815 jageoforce 2019-10-15T16:17:21Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Unable-to-create-inputs-on-Splunk-Cloud-instance-and-website/m-p/502103#M61816 <P>Disclaimer - I do not work for Splunk, this is not an official Splunk response to your question!<BR /> You can not add inputs on your Splunk Cloud Search Head this is due to service offering and SLAs offered to clients.<BR /> therefore, build a Heavy Forwarder, install the website monitoring app and send data to your Splunk Cloud<BR /> use the current app on your SH to view the data ...<BR /> also iitc, there is an index associated with the app, you might need to create that index too</P> <P>hope it helps</P> Wed, 16 Oct 2019 15:25:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Unable-to-create-inputs-on-Splunk-Cloud-instance-and-website/m-p/502103#M61816 adonio 2019-10-16T15:25:04Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Unable-to-create-inputs-on-Splunk-Cloud-instance-and-website/m-p/502104#M61817 <P>What version are you using? I tested this and mine works. This looks to me like a bug but I'm wondering if it only affects older versions of the app.</P> Wed, 23 Oct 2019 18:00:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Unable-to-create-inputs-on-Splunk-Cloud-instance-and-website/m-p/502104#M61817 LukeMurphey 2019-10-23T18:00:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Unable-to-create-inputs-on-Splunk-Cloud-instance-and-website/m-p/502105#M61818 <P>I ended up just scrapping the app entirely and going with a purpose-built solution outside the Splunk ecosystem.</P> Thu, 24 Oct 2019 15:57:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Unable-to-create-inputs-on-Splunk-Cloud-instance-and-website/m-p/502105#M61818 jageoforce 2019-10-24T15:57:51Z
