Static Exporter Configuration through UI - Only "Event" type indexes show in the list

[sadohert]

I was testing out the released version on Splunk 7.3.1 (deployed with Docker, Splunk Developer License).

When trying to create a static prometheus exporter setup through the UI I found the "Index" drop down box would only show me indexes of type "Event". I couldn't see the "Metrics" type index I had created for the data.

I was able to manually edit /etc/splunk/etc/search/local/inputs.conf to point to the right index and the metrics worked. After changing this I could then see the "metrics" index I chose through the UI.

Is there a way to ensure the drop down box presents only the Metrics type indexes that are available?
