As a current user of the Splunk App for Content Packs (SA4CP), we have some important information to share with you.
On October 27th we just released version 1.4 of the SA4CP. As part of this release we observed that some IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) objects of the Content Pack for Splunk Observability Cloud conflict with already existing objects in some content packs (e.g., Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring and Content Pack for Splunk Synthetics). Please refer to this document for such objects.
As ITSI does not allow object installation/creation with the same name, if you have already installed other content packs with these object naming conflicts, you will see an error when Content Pack for Splunk Observability Cloud is installed, even though the definition of these objects are different.
To address this ITSI object conflict, we have decided to remove the Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring and the Content Pack for Splunk Synthetics from the SA4CP v1.4.0 packaging as Content Pack for Splunk Observability Cloud replaces these content packs.
We have updated the SA4CP documentation to provide you with detailed instructions on how to configure the applications appropriately so that you can avoid duplicate objects/issues in ITSI from the installation of the SA4CP v1.4.0.
If you have additional questions or feedback please contact your Splunk support administrator or PM me with any questions you might have.
