I'm trying to get the File/Directory Information Input app working but I'm struggling.
The place I'm working has this installed on a couple of heavy forwarders (HF), but neither seems to be generating any data. Looking in the internal logs, I can see the below error present from both HFs ( App version 1.1.2 running on these / Splunk 6.6):
ERROR ModularInputs - Introspecting scheme=file_meta_data: script running failed (exited with code 1).
ERROR ModularInputs - Unable to initialize modular input "file_meta_data" defined inside the app "file_meta_data": Introspecting scheme=file_meta_data: script running failed (exited with code 1).
I have also attempted to install and run on a new HF, which I have set-up but am getting a different error (latest App version 1.3 with Splunk 7.0.5):
uiHelper processValueEdit operator failed for endpoint_path=data/inputs/file_meta_data/FileMonitorTest elementName=spl-ctrl_sourcetypeSelect: list index out of range
uiHelper submitValueEdit operator failed for endpoint_base=data/inputs/file_meta_data entity_name=FileMonitorTest elementName=sourcetype: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)
Not great with Python, so struggling to figure out how to resolve these issues.
Any assistance that can be provided would be great.
If additional information is required to assist - I'm happy to provide.
