Getting 401 unauthorized in backend Google Workspace add-on logs.   is there something messing in the Docs for this?
https://splunk.github.io/splunk-add-on-for-google-workspace/

Also is there an "impersonate" that is coded in the python scripts?

 

Thanks

Hi @formicas 

Just to check - has this ever worked for you? ie is this a new installation or has it stopped working / been upgraded?

Did you work through the steps at https://splunk.github.io/splunk-add-on-for-google-workspace/Configureinputs1/ to create a service account?

In _internal are there any other errors or can you supply a more specific/verbose error relating to the issue that we can debug?
