Why Search Head failed to load TA Inputs page?

Hello,
When I try to test TAs locally, on my single instance, the Inputs page fails to load with a 404 and the message:
This is normal on Splunk search heads as they do not require an Input page. Check your installation or return to the configuration page.
I get that search heads should not run TA's in a distributed architecture, but this is a single instance. Anyone know how to get around this? Hoping to find a solution that can be applied globally.
Thank you.

@ohbuckeyeio - There could be multiple reasons why the Add-on UI is not loading.
- Incorrectly configured Add-on from the backend.
- Missing config or spec file.
- Generally happens on classic Splunk Cloud instance as it removes the inputs.conf.spec and inputs.conf files.
- The user doesn't have admin access.
If you are facing the issue on Splunk Cloud:
- Use IDM machine in Splunk Cloud - https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/platform/introducing-inputs-data-manager-on-splunk-cloud.html
- Go to Splunk Cloud Victoria experience, as it will allow you to run inputs on the search head.
If you are facing the issue in an On-prem environment:
- Make sure you have not misconfigured anything from the backend.
- Make sure you have all the configuration files properly as they came from Splunkbase.
- Also, you can run index=_internal "error", to find more details.
I hope this helps!! Karma/upvote would be appreciated!!!
