How to export my custom TA to share with other Splunk instances?

[DEAD_BEEF]

I have a custom TA installed and was wondering what is the method to copy the entire thing and share it? I looked on the deployment server and it's listed there (but not in Apps) so I'm not sure how to go about exporting it. Do I just copy the TA's directory from the DS itself?

You can just tar up the App/TA directory and install that (a .tar, .tar.gz, or .tgz should work just fine) or have a look at this answer for the Splunk command to create a .spl

splunk package app <appName>

Thank you, I thought it might be this straightforward but I wasn't sure and couldn't find anything stating such.

1. You can copy the TA's to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps on your Deployment Server.
2. Use forwarder management to deploy TA's to other splunk instances.
