Error trying to add csv

I'm trying to upload a csv file via the Upload button and when I do I get the following error "'module' object has no attribute 'makeSplunkdUri'". I've tried on several different csv files and all the same error. On version 6.2.0. Any ideas?

Sounds like you might have a permissions issue or some missing files on your Splunk box.

Check here and see if your files are complete.
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/Admin/ChecktheintegrityofyourSplunksoftwarefiles

If not, the solution is to fix pemissions (examples --Right click in windows or sudo chown -R splunk:splunk /opt/splunk/)

And then reinstall (or upgrade to 7.0.1)

On a side note.. For kicking files into my test stand-alone 500mb splunk I just setup a folder on my workstation called dump, and then added this to my local splunk forwarder inputs.conf file. Then on my Windows workstation I can just drag files into c:\dump and the forwarder just grabs it for me.

[monitor://C:\dump\*]
