Where did you install the custom app? It must be installed on the indexer(s) to create the index, but it must also be installed on the search head(s) for the index to appear in the GUI.

Hi @Dk123 ,

as @richgalloway said, what's your architetcure?

you have to create the indexes.conf on the Indexers, so you can use them, but you don't see them in Search Heads.

To use them in Indexers and see them on Search Heads, you have to create the indexes on both the types of machines.

If instead you have a stand aolone server, did you restarted Splunk after creation?

Ciao.

Giuseppe

@Dk123

Can you verify the location where the "indexes.conf" file is created? Also, is the architecture standalone, distributed, or clustered?

@Dk123 Run the btool, /opt/splunk/bin/splunk btool indexes list --debug

Verify your index name and provide the location here.
