Splunk add-on builder gives us 2 options to save checkpoint
File type save checkpoints to /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/modinputs/
Where is auto saving checkpoints?
Have a look at below add-on. I have implemented custom check points.

So I just learnt something!
File uses a file checkpoint in the path you specify.
Auto stores the checkpoint in the KV Store

@nickhillscpl Thanks for your response and the document reference.
One additional thing, For file checkpoints I can delete checkpoints using below command
splunk clean inputdata
Is there a command to delete only kvstore checkpoints for specific input?
I know I am bothering you,but unable to locate these documents in Splunk.Thanks
I have the same question. i found the kvstore in the collections.conf, but the only value are the dates. how do we map the checkpoint to a specific value. the value, i'm told for this add-on, matches the input name.
