Verify the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/bin/sendemail.py file is still present

BTW, 6.6.2 is an unsupported version. Consider upgrading.

Hi Richgalloway,

Thanks for your reply.

As  i verified  "E:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\search\bin\sendemail.py" is exist .

What could be other options to fix this issue rather than upgrading?

 

Thank you,

Himanshu

Go to Settings->Advanced Search->Search Commands and verify sendemail is there with the right permissions and is not disabled.

Hi Richgalloway,

In below path , i do not have sendemail search :

Go to Settings->Advanced Search->Search Commands and verify sendemail is there with the right permissions and is not disabled.

 

In message tab i can see -

"Your license for Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange has expired or cannot be found."

is it related to this issue ?

 

Thank You,

Himanshu

Those are two unrelated problems.

Consider re-installing Splunk.
