"Cannot parse into key-value pair" error after upgrading to 4.1.4

[Lowell]

I just upgraded one of my splunk forwarders to version 4.1.4 and now I'm seeing the following error message in my internal logs:

WARN IniFile - C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\search\default\inputs.conf, line: 2: Cannot parse into key-value pair: This file intentionally left empty. Please do not delete it

This problem is caused by a bogus configuration file entry. To prevent this error message, open up your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/default/inputs.conf config file, which could contain the following:

# Copyright (C) 2005-2010 Splunk Inc.  All Rights Reserved.  Version 4.1.4
This file intentionally left empty. Please do not delete it.

Simply remove or comment out (add a "#") to the second line and the error message will go away.

Example of a fixed file:

# Copyright (C) 2005-2010 Splunk Inc.  All Rights Reserved.  Version 4.1.4
# This file intentionally left empty. Please do not delete it.
