I'm trying to create a custom alert action, but I'm seeing an error in the splunkd.log .

WARN sendmodalert - action=myapp  - Unable to find alert action script for action="myapp" in app="myapp_alerts"

What is the best way to troubleshoot this?

Thanks

Thanks @jkat54. That solved my issues pretty much immediately.

The issue I was having was my [custom_alert_action] values were different

Very appreciated!

bin

[custom_alert_action_script]

default
    alert_actions.conf
    app.conf
    restmap.conf
    setup.xml
    data
        ui
            alerts
                [custom_alert_action].html
