Hello! I downloaded the SPLUNK4JMX app to onboard JMX logs from Oracle Weblogic. I installed the app locally on a universal forwarder version 7.3.3. I have been messing around with the configurations but have not been able to get it to work. When I check the splunkd logs, i get this error message, "ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/SPLUNK4JMX/bin/jmx.py" Activation key check failed.Please ensure that you copy/pasted the key correctly." I have copy/pasted and verified that the trial key is correct. I am also getting this error when I run this command " /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk cmd splunkd print-modinput-config jmx | /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk cmd /bin/python /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/SPLUNK4JMX/bin/jmx.py"
