What is the process of compiling the .tgz file in windows?

Hi,

I have edited the inputs.conf file in app.tgz how we can compile it after editing the config file in windows.

Hi @AL3Z,

You can use 7z application to update tgz files in Windows.

The 7-Zip utility can create .tgz files since they're just compressed tarballs.

If you will be vetting the app then know that a .tgz file created by Windows will fail AppInspect. That's because Windows assigns the wrong permissions to the files in the tarball. The workaround is to transfer the app to a Linux system, un-tar it, change file permissions, and re-create the tarball.

Hi @AL3Z,

You can package your edited apps using Splunk Enterprise CLI command or Third-party utilities and CLI commands (Linux tar command).

You can also check the following link for tar command examples. https://www.linuxtechi.com/tar-command-in-linux-with-examples/

What help do you need? If it's just to create the tarball then change to the directory above the app and run

tar -zcf CP_IntSightsAppForSplunk.tgz CP_IntSightsAppForSplunk

Those are not errors related to creating a tarball. Those are errors vetting a Splunk app. Very different things.

The fix is to read the error messages and correct the situations they describe. Then vet again.

See https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/reference/appinspect/appinspectcheck/ for more information.

As the app vetting results say, the must not contain a local directory. Use of 'local' is restricted to local admins who need to customize your app; the original distribution must not have that directory. Everything currently in local must be moved to default.

If files by the same name already exist in default then copying them from local will overwrite them. In that case, you must manually merge the contents of the files into default.
