How do I "un-uninstall" a deployment server app?

[woodcock]

I was trying to remove an app from a serverclass and I clicked on Uninstall thinking that that would do it (there are 5 different ways to do the same thing on the DS so I have a bad habit of assuming I know what stuff will do).

Not only did it remove the app from my serverclass but it sent the app into some kind of phantom zone banishment from which I am unable to reclaim it. No matter what I do, the DS GUI will no longer recognize this app as an app.

I have deleted it from deployment-apps and re-added it but this did nothing. I have searched the entire $SPLUNK_HOME for any references to this app and can find nothing. What exactly does uninstall do and how do I undo it?

OK, I figured it out. I manually added this back into my serverclass.conf file:

[serverClass:SomeAppThatExists:app:YourUninstalledAppNameHere]
restartSplunkWeb = 0
restartSplunkd = 1
stateOnClient = enabled

Then I rebooted my DS and when I logged in, I was able to see the app again inside of the serverclass.
I still don't know what really happens and this isn't a real answer but at least it got the app back to some degree of usability.
