(Just come across this question, hence answering now, just in case anyone need help on this in the future.)

There could be multiple reasons why the Add-on UI is not loading.

  • Incorrectly configured Add-on from the backend.
  • Missing config or spec file.
    • Generally happens on classic Splunk Cloud instance as it removes the inputs.conf.spec and inputs.conf files.
  • The user doesn't have admin access.

If you are facing the issue on Splunk Cloud:

If you are facing the issue in an On-prem environment:

  • Make sure you have not misconfigured anything from the backend.
  • Make sure you have all the configuration files properly as they came from Splunkbase.
  • Also, you can run index=_internal "error", to find more details.

 

I hope this helps!! Karma/upvote would be appreciated!!!

i am facing similar problem I am creating an addon with modular input using python. While testing the app /add-on it was all ok in the addon-builder but after I finish all the things ,and then open the created addon /app , then the input tab is taking forever to show the page. I also noted that whenever I am putting password text box while creating the add-on then only this is happening.

I am using

Splunk Version: 7.2.7
Splunk Build: f817a93effc2

splunk_app_addon-builder version: 2.2.0

Do you mean you exported one addon, and then imported to another Addon Builder? What's the Splunk version and error message?
