Error message received when configuring "Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux"

When I try to configure the "Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux" app in Splunk Cloud I receive an error message that states: "There was an unexpected problem while saving the inputs. Please reload the page and try again."

This error message is vague and I am not sure what to do next.

Does anyone have a solution?

The INFO messages can be ignored. Since this is Splunk Cloud your options are fairly limited. Consider re-installing the app, if the GUI will let you, or opening a support ticket.

So I am currently on a 15 day free trial so apparently I am not entitled to open support tickets - I contacted the sales team via voicemail and via email.  I'll post back here once I have a solution.
