Create a custom Splunk view Tutorial not working

smhsplunk — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 18:55:35 GMT

Hello

I am trying to run this tutorial from http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAERG

When I try to hit refresh (/debug/refresh) I get this and also, I do not see "Hello World" once I go to the dashboard page. It shows the dashboard empty.

Refreshing admin/collections-conf          BadRequest 
In handler 'collections-conf': Must use user context of 'nobody' when interacting with collection configurations (used user='admin')

Can you tell me how to fix this ?

When I hit refresh these are the three BadRequest I get, rest shows OK

Refreshing admin/collections-conf BadRequest
In handler 'collections-conf': Must use user context of 'nobody' when interacting with collection configurations (used user='admin')

Refreshing admin/remote_indexes BadRequest
In handler 'remote_indexes': The following required arguments are missing: repositoryLocation.

Refreshing admin/transforms-reload ResourceNotFound
In handler 'transforms-reload': Invalid action for this internal handler (handler: transforms-reload, supported: list|_reload, wanted: list).

Try restarting your splunk instance instead.

I have restarted splunk both from the web interface and also manually form \bin, still doesnt show.
Even tried disabling enabling app.

The debug/refresh endpoint will reload configs that are available under /servicesNS/admin/search/admin endpoint. Under the admin endpoint, we have collection-conf endpoint which does provide _reload option, thus it would throw the following type of error.

In handler 'collections-conf': Must use user context of 'nobody' when interacting with collection configurations (used user='admin')

This collections-conf issue/error has now been addressed in the following releases:

- Splunk 6.2.8 - (bug: SPL-107404)
- Splunk 6.3.4 - (bug: SPL-111358)
- Splunk 6.4.0 - (bug: SPL-111360)
