I'am facing an issue while I tried to run "Helloword" example from SDK package. I'am working on win 7 with splunk 5.0.1 (installed in local). I set up this following config with my own :
username = "admin";
password = "changeme";
scheme = "https";
host = "localhost";
port = "8089";
version = "5.0.1";
But I run the example from browser it doesn't work and this error in my console: TypeError: req is undefined
if (req.wasAborted) {

Any help please !!

thanks in advance.

This is a bug in the splunk.js!

Fix the error on the SDKPath/client/splunk.js @ Line-number 6002 😆 "if (res.wasAborted)" instead of "if (reg.wasAborted)"

or use the "splunk.min.js" instead.

hope that helps,

Robert

Ok thanks again. In fact, I'am now at server-side. my web application run on tomcat server. I'm able to connect to my splunk server from my web application, run searches and get results. So I need to draw some graphs from data results using timeline.js and charting.js. Whenever it seems that node.js is required(refer to the error occurred). Do I have to refer to node.js in my web application? or to install it?

"require()" is a NodeJS (server-side) command - so if you run a (Node)JS on client-side you will get an error.
