What's the difference between master-apps vs manager-apps on the Index Cluster Master / Manager?

[Gregski11]

after Splunk version upgrade (some time ago, I'm sure) there is a new directory on the Index Cluster Master called manager-apps but the old one called master-apps is still there as well 

I know why Splunk did this, the question is how are things handled moving forward?

all of my old apps are still under master-apps, does this mean they will stay there and if I create any new cluster apps I need to create them under manager-apps now?

In other words it appears Splunk did not just rename the old directory or move the apps to the new one automagically?

Hi @Gregski11 

starting from Splunk 9.0 splunk changed the names

Cluster Master 
master-Node to Manager Node

Indexers 
slave_apps to peer apps 

you can refer to following URLs for futrhur setps

best practice is to move them to manager-apps
