Splunk internal user Error

[g_paternicola]

Hi everyone,

I have installed Splunk on Windows and unfortunately, instead of the user admin I have created the user splunk. After that I created in the Splunk Web Gui the user admin and set it as an admin. 

But now I will get some errors like this:

Invalid user admin, provided in passAuth argument, attempted to execute command "R:\Program Files\Splunk\bin\Python3.exe" "R:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\python_upgrade_readiness_app\bin\pura_send_email.py"

Is there any solution for that? Thank you very much!

@g_paternicola I realize you submitted this quite a while ago, but I had the same issue in my lab.  I resolved this issue by:

copying the following lines out of the /etc/apps/python_upgrade_readiness_app/default/inputs.conf and pasting them into /etc/apps/python_upgrade_readiness_app/local/inputs.conf (which you'll have to create first).

[script://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/python_upgrade_readiness_app/bin/pura_get_all_apps.py]
passAuth = admin

[script://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/python_upgrade_readiness_app/bin/pura_scan_apps.py]
passAuth = admin

[script://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/python_upgrade_readiness_app/bin/pura_send_email.py]
passAuth = admin

Replace "admin" with your admin account name.
