Solved: Re: hitting refresh when doing a https://<ip>:8000...

cmeisch · ‎07-21-2021

I tried to search this and didnt find anything so apologies if its been already answered. If we run that URL one will get a page with a refresh button. We hit the button and what's returned is a bunch of HTML code. Has anyone experienced this and how was this resolved?

Running Splunk 8.2

It says an error occurred during the refresh. Check the internal logs. Consider opening a support request.
