Hi all, I am attempting to create an add-on with the Add-On Builder that queries a REST API for stats and saves them to a metrics index. A requirement is that it needs to be smart during outages & recovery. I thought I could just add checkpointing to the add-on. As a test, I stopped Splunk for a few minutes, then started it up and got this:
The spike is where Splunk was restarted. What appears to be happening is that the checkpoint is starting where it left off but just doing 1 query from where it left off to the current time and returning the sum. What I want it to do is basically a backfill - start at the saved checkpoint & run the REST query every 30 seconds and save those values.
Is that possible to do in the Add-On builder or does that require additional coding?
