Why is Splunk aws add-on throwing 500s and showing blank UI?

[gurleenk]

I'm using Splunk Enterprise 6.5 and have tried re-installing splunk-aws-add-on couple of times now. Trying to Launch the add-on throws many 500 responses in the browser inspector (console).

The error in tail -100 splunk_ta_aws_description.log is as follows
