How to invoke adhoc queries

pcyr

After installing and configuring this application I am unable to get the adaptive response to run. I continue to get teh error as follows:
" "Shodan IP Lookup" could not be dispatched: ModularActionException: Invalid parameter for ad hoc modular action."

Is there a format which is needed when invoking this adaptive response directly from the event and manually placing the IP into the IP lookup field? Thank you.

Hey pcyr. Do you have Splunk Add-on for CIM installed?
Another got you is that you need to go into the index settings and select an index and press save
