Hi ,

I am getting 500 Internal Server Error when I click on Manage Apps, however other functionalities are working fine.

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated.

We are 8.0.1 on Linux and here is how I found the Dashboard that was missing a label:

1.) List Dashboard XML files that are missing a label:

     grep -rl "<dashboard" /opt/splunk/etc/* | grep "\.xml" | xargs grep "<label></label>"

 

2.) Edit these files and change "<label></label>" to "<label>New Label</label>". (Change "New Label" to whatever you want)

 

3.) Restart Splunk.

Hi everyone,

I did grep -rl "<dashboard" /opt/splunk/etc/* | grep "\.xml" | xargs grep "<label></label>",

found an .xml file with no content inside <label></label>,

changed it to <label>Corvil</label>,

restarted Splunk -in fact, the whole system-,

tried updating an app -any app-

and the 500 Error is still there.

 

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

The simple answer to this is you have a dashboard without a title. As soon as I fixed that, all the problems with 500 errors went away.

I'm experiencing this too after an upgrade to 8. Did you end up finding a resolution?

In my case,
The problem occurred when some dashboard had a label tag but no tag content.
When I added the string in label, the 500 error disappeared.

May be it is not problem of Splunk enterprise version. I think...

Ran into this issue - label was missing in one of the dashboard XML files.

If you're seeing this error message at the bottom of the stack trace - means this is a likely fix.
File "/opt/splunk/lib/python3.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/controllers/view.py", line 806, in buildViewTemplate
viewList.sort(key=lambda x: x['label'])
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'str'

Quick workaround is to identify the dashboard XML without a label and update it.
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#Overview

<dashboard>
  <label>test_db</label>

Borrowed this from Engineering.

Here is a regex to find the labels causing the issue, run inside the splunk or diag folder
linux:
find . -name ".xml" | xargs grep -Pzo "(board.|orm.*)>\s+<\/label>"

In my case,
Label values were missing in some old dashboard xml files in other app.
(ex. )

After setting the label value, the dashboard such as manager was successfully loaded.
(ex. 111)

I had the exact same problem.
I tried but it did not solve the problem.

Did anyone solve this? The regex didn't work

find . -name ".xml" | xargs grep -Pzo "(board.|orm.)>\s+<\/label>"

I modified it as above but couldn't find a file.

I am also seeing this issue when I click on "Update" to update one of the Apps in the Apps list.

The error page loads after about 4-5 seconds.

I am seeing this same error after upgrading to 8.0.2. It's only on 1 of my SH's, the others are functioning fine.

Eventually found the culprit dashboard without a label tag applied and that resolved the issues.

And I don't see any error in the splunkd.log around the same time.

I don't see any specific error.

I see this error in the web access log.
