REST API storage/collections/config return errors

[yuanliu]

I have a hard time getting examples in https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/manageknowledge/kvstore/usetherestapitomanagekv/ to work.  One of the most obvious error is 405 with POST to storage/collections/config:

HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2021 16:27:53 GMT
Allow: GET,HEAD,OPTIONS
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Content-Length: 243
Connection: Keep-Alive
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Server: Splunkd

The documentation clearly says 

storage/collections/config

• GET: Get a list of collections in a specific app.
• POST: Create a new collection in a specific app.

GET method, meanwhile, always gets 404 page not found. Is there some permission to be set before API can enable POST and allow GET?

Hi @yuanliu 

Can you share the API endpoint that you are using and how you are testing it?

[yuanliu]

@venkatasri I use curl.  To test POST method, I use something like

curl -k -H 'Authorization Bearer <token>' \
    -d name=kvtest \    https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/myuser/search/storage/collections/config

nearly verbatim as in the document.  To test GET method,  just drop the -d option.
