We have created what we call apps--which is just a inputs.conf file in a directory structure. We push that out to our clients. However, these do not create a drop-down in the Apps drop-down from the main screen. How can we convert them so that they do show on the drop-down menu under Apps? Our client wants that and I'm not certain how to take what I already have and wrap it into "real" application.
for instance:
ourcompany_thisapp_forwarder
local
inputs.conf
That is our current structure on the deploymentclient servers. It's small and does not do much but handle the inputs. Our new client wants it to really be an app with multiple types of folders for adding other data into Splunk. Does anyone know how to convert the "app" to a true app?
It is a true app already, but just needs a bit more info to make it visible.
Take a look at app.conf - that is what controls visibility.
