Installation

Why does Splunk Cloud add-on fail to read globalConfig.json?

Hello,

I have an add-on in Splunk, that is supported in Splunk Cloud.

Recently with one of our customers, the installation failed because the add-on could not find globalConfig.json:

Important to say, the app was built using the Splunk Add-on builder, and it seems this library throws the error.

The client have a managed environment (they can't install apps themselves or to change the settings there). they have a Splunk 8.2 Classic.

How can we resolve the errors?

Thank you very much!
