Splunk Add-on for Unix and linux

searching
Loves-to-Learn Lots

After clicking save on the setup page of the Unix / Linux add-on I receive an error message. "There was an unexpected problem while saving inputs. please reload page and try again". Is the a solution for this issue or some key things to check?

Me too.  Nothing regarding errors are logged, but it does product over 1000 lines for cron schedules.

I don't know if the OP has this, but no indices are detected on the setup page either.  I'm running splunk 9.0.3 and nix 8.9.0.

Are indexes configured on the instance?  The app only knows the indexes that are known to the local instance.  A search head does not ask indexers what indexes are set up - it's up to the Splunk Admin to set them up on the SH as well.

Hi @richgalloway, Apologies for the late reply.  It's a single instance, which is why I'm stuck.  I don't have anything special setup, most things are at default.  It's not a file permission thing from what I can see.

Assuming reloading the page and trying again didn't help, look in splunkd.log for helpful messages.
