REST API storage/collections/config return errors

yuanliu — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 16:50:19 GMT

I have a hard time getting examples in https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/manageknowledge/kvstore/usetherestapitomanagekv/ to work. One of the most obvious error is 405 with POST to storage/collections/config:

HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2021 16:27:53 GMT Allow: GET,HEAD,OPTIONS Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Content-Length: 243 Connection: Keep-Alive X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Server: Splunkd

The documentation clearly says

storage/collections/config
GET: Get a list of collections in a specific app.
POST: Create a new collection in a specific app.

GET method, meanwhile, always gets 404 page not found. Is there some permission to be set before API can enable POST and allow GET?

Hi @yuanliu

Can you share the API endpoint that you are using and how you are testing it?

@venkatasri I use curl. To test POST method, I use something like

curl -k -H 'Authorization Bearer <token>' \ -d name=kvtest \ https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/myuser/search/storage/collections/config

nearly verbatim as in the document. To test GET method, just drop the -d option.
