Are Splunk Manager error messages logged anywhere?

Question

Hey,

In the past, when I have opened the Splunk Manager page in Splunk web, I have seen a red error message appear at the top of the screen with the following example error:

Misconfigured view 'view_1' - Unknown parameter 'width' is defined for module SimpleResultsTable. Make sure the parameter is specified in SimpleResultsTable.conf.

Do these error messages get logged in Splunk's internal indexes (e.g. _internal, _audit)?

It would be good to know if these messages are logged anywhere. I am using Splunk v4.2.1

Thanks in advance for your help.

My guess is that this would be in python.log, which is indexed in _internal. There's some information that might help in the Troubleshooting Manual: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Troubleshooting/WhatSplunklogsaboutitself.

Thanks, I tried having a look at python.log but couldn't find any similar error messages.
