Detected an outdated version of the Splunk SDK for Python- How to upgrade the Splunk SDK for Python on Cloud?

[jhilton90]

So I'm trying to install an app on Splunk Cloud and it went through the checks and it failed due to the following error:

Detected an outdated version of the Splunk SDK for Python (1.6.15). Please upgrade to version 1.6.16 or later. File: bin/splunklib/binding.py

Does anyone know how to upgrade the Splunk SDK for Python on Splunk Cloud?

Each app that uses the SDK has a bin/splunklib directory in it.  That check makes sure the version of splunklib is current.  If it isn't, find a more recent version of the app with a newer splunklib or update the SDK in the app yourself then re-upload it.

How would I go about updating the SKD in the app if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks

I usually copy the splunklib directory from another app that has a more-recent version.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for replying, sorry I'm a newbie but how do you access the splunklib on another app?

Thanks

Download app "foo" and expand the tarball.  Go to foo/bin then cp splunklib ../../myapp/bin.  In some apps,  splunklib may be under foo/lib.
