@nyuad - It seems the following file from TA-servicelink Add-on has a Python indentation error.

/data/splunk/etc/apps/TA-servicelink/bin/servicelink.py

 

Generally, the Indentation error is not related Python version.
In any case, this is an Add-on code issue and not a Splunk issue, just to clarify.

 

I hope this helps!!

Following is the approach I would choose in the order given here.

  • Try upgrading Add-on and check.
  • Contact the Add-on developer about the issue.
  • Resolving the indentation issue yourself, requires Python expertise.

 

I hope this helps!!!
