Monitoring Splunk

http://localhost:8000/info page has errors, any fix?

I get an "IndexError: list index out of range" when trying to access http://localhost:8000/info.

This is a fairly fresh install of version 4.2.2, build 101277. I made a dashboard and a form, but I have not touched the filesystem myself at all.

Here is the full error dump:

Thanks for the report. I have filed a bug internally, SPL-40720.

Hi All,

Just an FYI, I took a very quick look at the problematic code and came up with a quick one line temporary fix. I don't know if this is the proper fix, but at least the page works now (so far).

Change line 261 of /opt/splunk/lib/python2.6/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/lib/util.py to this:

if segments[1] == 'modules' and len(segments)>2:

I would still be interested in hearing of any better fixes for this bug.

Thanks!
