Knowledge Object Explorer won't load

[richgalloway]

Are there any dependencies for this app? I installed it on our Splunk Enterprise 6.1 dev box and restarted Splunk. When I launch the app, it says "Loading..." and seems to hang. I'm wondering if there's something else I need to install to get this working or does the first launch just take a really long time.

It seems some stuff I added after 6.1-testing actually aren't supported by 6.1 😞 oops.
The things you posted in your log would be easy to fix, but once fixed you'd stumble over the big one - exposing the calculated fields endpoint manually apparently is only supported from 6.2.0 on.

So yeah... upgrade to 6.2, or 6.3 while you're at it 😄

[richgalloway]

Upgrading to 6.3 fixed the problem.

[martin_mueller]

It should work without any dependencies, though dev and most testing was on 6.2.

Your symptoms sound like some JS failing, open your browser's JS console and reload.

I posted my log here yesterday afternoon and now it's gone.

Odd, nothing in the mod queue either. Pastebin it? Describe errors, if any? Gotta kill airport time somehow...

I can't find any js errors in the sea of css issues... What browser are you using? Those css issues suggest it may be old or weird.

I did see two 404s for core simplexml js files, that can't be good.

I usually use Firefox, but Chrome also fails to load. Here is what is in the Chrome log:

Odd... I'll do some more 6.1 testing once I get home.. Will need to test on 6.3 anyway 😄

[martin_mueller]

Did the 6.3 test now, all good.
