App.Conf Configuration Question

Marco
Communicator

Salutations,

I had a question about the App.Conf file. If i'm going to submit an App to SplunkBase is the install_source_checksum field necessary ? I've read saying it should not be explicitly set. https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/reference/splunkappinspectcheck/

So should I just leave it as install_source_checksum = blank or not include the field at all?

 

#
# Splunk app configuration file
#
[package]
id = Test App

[install]
is_configured = 0
install_source_checksum = 5496cc42397de0bdcddb4592ab4c2725bfdf947b

[ui]
is_visible = 1
label = Test App

To pass AppInspect, the install_source_checksum attribute must be omitted (the whole line).
