Summary:

• The conditional check 'task_response.status == 200' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (task_response.status == 200): 'dict object' has no attribute 'status'
• can't set license slave
• disable popups is not working

[yaroslav-nakonechnikov]

i managed bypass [splunk_common : Disable Popups] via next setting: SPLUNK_DISABLE_POPUPS = "False"

so, why it is written that this is default setting, but it doesn't work like that?
