How can I associate an icon with a custom Splunk application?

For 5.x, put a 36x36 file in the following path:

<app_name>/appserver/static/appIcon.png

For 6.x, you'll also need to follow callan's recommendation in his answer.

For more information, see the list of files recommended for apps.

As of 6.0, the main app icon goes here (note the _2x version to support higher pixel density displays, such as apple's retina):

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/static/appIcon.png 36x36px
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/static/appIcon_2x.png 72x72px

This icon is displayed in the app menu:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/static/appIconAlt.png 36x36px
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/static/appIconAlt_2x.png 72x72px

You can -optionally- place an app logo in the same path:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/static/appLogo.png 160x40
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/static/appLogo_2x.png 320x80

For backwards compatibility with 5.x, you'll also want to follow lmurphey's instructions in his answer.

Why doesnt the above answer not match the docs? The above works, the docs do not for Splunk v6. 🙂

@BP9906: I just opened a defect ticket with the docs team to get this corrected.
