Upgrading app lost kvstore objects (TenableAppForS

I thought I was following OK practice as these were customisations to collections.conf and transforms.conf and savedsearches.conf in the local directory

But it appears the app owner just got rid of them when I upgraded to 5.0.0 to 5.1.0

Working to recover the situation and have pinged the developer. The data should be recreated

Was it my fault by adding stanzas to a commercial app ? or should I have been protected if I stuck to local copies ?

Ok. But how did you update them? Using the "apps" screen in splunk webui? By downloading them manually and installing them from cli?

If you had your definitions in app/local directory, it should have been retained across upgrades. The app should overwrite the app/default directory (and therefore you should never directly edit files there) but your local files shouldn't be touched.

What is your environment? Do you use all-in-one setup or do you have search-head cluster? How do you deploy apps? How did you upgrade the app?
