Seqcli sample data error: "403 - Only shared or personal signals can be created."

[juchom]

I'm running Seq locally in a docker container on windows with port 5341 & 8080 exposed on localhost

I have created the api key with all the permissions :

And when I try to run sqlcli with this command :

docker run --rm -it --network host datalust/seqcli sample setup -s http://127.0.0.1:5341 -a qKQP.....

I have this error message :

The command failed: 403 - Only shared or personal signals can be created.

Hi Julien, thanks for the report.

I think I know what's going on, here (a bit of a rough edge we need to smooth out!)

Is your API key a "system" one? And if so, does the command work when you use an API key created in your personal user preferences, instead?

Best regards, Nick

I think it's a system api key. I pulled the docker image and add the key. I made nothing more.

Thanks for the follow-up. I think we'll need to do additional work to support setting up with system API keys. A personal key should succeed now, though.

I have the same identical issue. Can be because I have already populate SEQ with application log message's ?

Hi @clabnet - if it's the same issue as above, it will be because you're using a system API key, rather than a personal one, to configure seqcli. Does the command succeed with an API key created through your Seq user preferences screen?

Hi @nblumhardt, Thank you for your fast response.

Yes, the command has now succeeded with API key created by User -> Preferences -> API Key. I can see a lot of new Signals, Query and dashboards, but not any events. What date has the samples data ?
