Where to place app-specific macros for proper later app-packaging?

[DrFedtke]

Hi all,

I want to define some app-specific macros (e.g. search macros) and want to make sure that they included in later packing, so they will be delivered with the app. In which file and in which folder do I have to put the macros?
Currently it is unclear to me where those are saved.

Best regards,
Caspar

Hi DrFedtke,

The best location to put the macros in the app would be on default directory of the app.

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/APP_NAME/default/macros.conf

This also helps users to customize your macros (If they wish to tweak a bit) they can do that by placing a file in local directory and start playing with it.

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/APP_NAME/local/macros.conf

Let me know how it goes. 🙂

Cheers,
