I get the following message when trying to restore a saved search in VersionControl For Splunk

/*

I believe we are also chatting via email? Happy to discuss on answers or email, for now I'll post on both 🙂

In $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/

There should be a:
splunkversioncontrol_rest_restore.log

Which should hopefully provide some hints if there is no log we can try:
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd python $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SplunkVersionControl/bin/splunkversioncontrol_rest_restore.py

The above would just to be sure there are no syntax errors appearing in the file.

Finally if you have logs but they are not providing any hints would you mind editing:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SplunkVersionControl/bin/splunkversioncontrol_rest_restore.py

And comment out line 45?

logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)

That way you should see debug logs into the file.
