Palo Alto Add On - Can't consume Autofocus feeds

Hi all,

 

I configured an EDL and URL feed from Autofocus by following the steps in https://splunk.paloaltonetworks.com/autofocus-and-minemeld.html.  However, when I try to review the details from the macros from the link above,  no results are returned.

 

From the log file: /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/Splunk_TA_paloalto_minemeld_feed.log I get the following entry for the EDL feed:

2021-01-05 15:29:16,550 ERROR pid=208666 tid=MainThread file=base_modinput.py:log_error:309 | Get error when collecting events.
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise JSONDecodeError("Extra data", s, end)
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 4 (char 3)

 

From the URL feed, I get:

2021-01-08 12:12:19,748 ERROR pid=15255 tid=MainThread file=base_modinput.py:log_error:309 | Failed to get entries for "af_daily": 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://autofocus.paloaltonetworks.com/output/threatFeedResult?v=json&tr=1

 

I have verified/retried the credentials and the API key (for Autofocus) to confirm that I have the correct value.

 

 

Note: I do get results from accessing the EDL/URL feeds manually via cURL.

 

 

Please let me know what else I can try.
