Error when installing a Collector

[cvdsouza]

Hi,
I'm following the instructions to install a new Collector : https://docs.docintel.org/docs/admin/collectors.html
The information matches that of the Collector screenshot in the documentation, but I keep hitting this error.

However, I get the following error when I click the install button

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I cannot reproduce, could you send me a screenshot of the form or more details in a private message on Slack?

[cvdsouza]

Sure, here are screenshots of the form

Once I click install, here is the error screenshot

Yes, you selected no collectors :-) (that being said, you should not get an error either).

Collectors at the moment are only available in modules, that are not freely available.
