Apps Browsing is not working

[Anmar0293]

When I go to browse for Apps in my local instance, nothing shows and keeps loading until time out connection.
Is there anything i need to do to update this feature?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Anmar0293,

When browing for apps in the Web UI, Splunk is querying splunk.com.

Is your local instance able to go online? Check that it can connect to https://splunkbase.splunk.com/

Oh thats why. I don't think it is able to go online. Is there away to enable that?

thanks @whrg

That depends on your environment. If, for instance, you are running VirtualBox then you could add a network adapter. A NAT adapter or a Bridged Adapter should be able to give you online access.
Alternatively, you can download apps from splunkbase.splunk.com on your host system and then click on "Install app from file" for installation.
