The rest api add-on works in with version 1.5.3 but when I upgrade to 1.8.1 or 1.8.2 the data stops being ingested into splunk. any idea why?

[jlstanley]

I've got about 10 or 12 rest api inputs setup in the add-on that are all working fine with 1.5.3 but stop working whenever I upgrade the add-on to 1.8.X

is there anything I need to be changing to make it work? I'm on splunk 7.3.1 currently with RHEL7.4

After updating to 1.8.3 it still didn't work right off the bat but I was able to finally see in the error log that I needed to copy the custom responsehandlers.py from the previous add-on to the new since it got overwritten. thank you

You will find that Splunk 7.3.x and 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 did not work, 1.8.3 fixes it
If you look at SplunkBase you will notice the baboon bones team removed 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 from the website...
