Hi team,

I am facing this issue with adding an s3 data input in the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services. I followed the steps to add the add-on and configured aws services referring to this PDF http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/latest/AWS/Description , but when I try to configure the data input for S3 bucket using the web console, it throws me this error

In handler 'aws_s3': 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_bucket'

Hi,

If you're still looking for answers like I did last week.

We got the problem solved with 5.0.1 AWS Add-On and 8.0.3 Splunk Enterprise

8.0.3 Splunk Enterprise + 5.0.0 AWS Add-On has the same issue:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_bucket'

Hope this helps!

Hi, please try with the latest add-on; I suspect that you're having trouble with the clever "automatically build lists of things in the user interface" stuff, and version 2.0.0 gives you more meaningful errors and enables you to just type in values if that goes wrong.
