404 Not found when creating Splunk Version Control Backup data input

[marcelloromani]

When I try to create the backup data input, I get a 404 not found error when submitting the input configuration form.

Splunk version: enterprise 8.0.1 SplunkVersionControl version: 1.0.9

How to reproduce:

• create a new splunk version control backup data input
• set srcURL to http://my-splunk-instance:8000
• set srcUsername and srcPassword to the login credentials
• set other fields
• click "Next"

expected: data input created actual: a red message containing the splunk-generated "404 Not Found" HTML page.

I suspect that you might have misunderstood the srcURL: This the URL to be used for the REST API access of the Splunk instance, https://localhost:8089/ for example (does not have to be localhost)

Are you running your REST API on port 8089?

In that case it would be: set srcURL to http://my-splunk-instance:8089
