Howdy fellow Splunkers!
I have tried to find a previous article but I must be missing it if there is one. I need help as I am doing some app/add-on updates for the first time and hit a roadblock.
I have an app installed currently and the app folder in deployment-apps is titled: forescout-app-for-splunk_291 and the new one is called forescout-app-for-splunk. They took off the version number. I was not the one who installed the first one so I'm not sure what their thinking was.
I am using a Deployment Server and can't figure out how to get it to replace the version one with the non version one. If I just install it like a new app, then both are on the SH and I am afraid of losing any config from the first app.
Oh man, I really hope that made sense. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yeah you are making sense, but your thoughts are too complex 🙂
How would you normally update an app? (hint default and local folders...right)
There are several methods to do this. But I would just rename the old app folder on the deployer forescout-app-for-splunk_291to forescout-app-for-splunk and do a bundle apply to the Search Head(s).
Now you have you the same foldernames for both the old and new app. Next update the app as you would normally.
