"No Bing API key defined"

If you see the error "No Bing API key defined" when you run the search command or modular input, then you haven't defined an API key for the Bing search engine. Here is how to resolve this:

  1. Sign up for an API key on Microsoft's Datamarket. You can get a key for free.
  2. Run the setup page for the Bing Search app by clicking the app selector at the top left of Splunk's interface and selecting "Manage Apps"
  3. Find the row of the Bing Search app and click the link titled " Set up" next to it.
  4. Enter the API key and save the configuration
