stop the splunk by running splunk stop in cmd prompt at $SPLUNK_HOME$/bin/
Copy app folder from $SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/apps/<app_name> and paste at same location i.e. $SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/apps/ and rename folder name
Start splunk by running splunk start

Hi @boommen

I think there is no option to "clone" an app in the UI. But you can create a folder app2 and copy all the files and folders from app1 to app2. If app1 has special configuration which mentioned app1 as app configurations then you have to change app1 to app2 in all configuration files like. app.conf OR savedsearch.conf.

Let me know if any further help required.
Thanks

Thanks Kamelesh. I was able to copy app1 to app2. But none of the reports in app1 is showing up in app2. How do I do that ?
