Why Search Head failed to load TA Inputs page?

ohbuckeyeio — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 17:02:24 GMT

Hello,

When I try to test TAs locally, on my single instance, the Inputs page fails to load with a 404 and the message:

This is normal on Splunk search heads as they do not require an Input page. Check your installation or return to the configuration page.

I get that search heads should not run TA's in a distributed architecture, but this is a single instance. Anyone know how to get around this? Hoping to find a solution that can be applied globally.

Thank you.

@ohbuckeyeio - There could be multiple reasons why the Add-on UI is not loading.

Incorrectly configured Add-on from the backend.
Missing config or spec file.
- Generally happens on classic Splunk Cloud instance as it removes the inputs.conf.spec and inputs.conf files.
The user doesn't have admin access.

If you are facing the issue on Splunk Cloud:

Use IDM machine in Splunk Cloud - https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/platform/introducing-inputs-data-manager-on-splunk-cloud.html
Go to Splunk Cloud Victoria experience, as it will allow you to run inputs on the search head.

If you are facing the issue in an On-prem environment:

Make sure you have not misconfigured anything from the backend.
Make sure you have all the configuration files properly as they came from Splunkbase.
Also, you can run index=_internal "error", to find more details.

I hope this helps!! Karma/upvote would be appreciated!!!
