Packaging app and add-on together in to one.tgz file

haripriyasarvep — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 23:21:46 GMT

I created and add-on using Splunk add-on builder and also an app related to the add-on. Now I need to package both app and add-on together and delpoy on to the another splunk instance. Please help me out on how to create this .tgz file which includes both app and add-on.

Hello @haripriyasarvepalli1

I'm not sure this is a correct way to deploy apps and addons, but technically this is just a tar command:

cd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
tar cfz /tmp/app_with_addon.tgz MyApp TA_myAddon

tar cfz - create a compressed tgz file
MyApp - a folder with your App in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
TA_myAddon - a folder with your Add-on in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps

there are other ways if you just want to transfer files from one splunk instance to other. Usually rsync, sftp or scp are used among other methods.
