Hi,  Our app is built upon Splunk Add-on builder. Builder's code is responsible for most of input and output for our app. We modified the pulling module to reach out to our server to pull data. Then Builder will send the pulled data into Splunk engine to process.  Splunk cloud store has been updating their inspection criteria few times in past years. Almost every time, Builder needs to update to comply to the new criteria. We was told to import our app upon the new Builder and export to our app, to take in Builder's updates.  Unless last month.  We have got another notice from Splunk store, saying our app no longer apply to updated criteria and will be removed from Splunk store by 18th this month. Only this time, Splunk Add-on Builder no longer do its part to update to apply to the same rules in the same store.  Here is the cause: check_python_sdk_version If your app relies on the Splunk SDK for Python, we require you to use an acceptably-recent version in order to avoid compatibility issues between your app and the Splunk Platform or the Python language runtime used to execute your app’s code. Please update your Splunk SDK for Python version to the least 2.0.2. More information is available on this project’s GitHub page: https://github.com/splunk/splunk-sdk-python Versions affected by this check are: 1.6.1   We would like to seek some information about  1. Why Builder can violates the Splunk cloud criteria but can stay on Splunk store.  2. If Builder does follow new rules as everyone else, when do they update to new version to pass inspection test.  3. If Builder does NOT update. Is there any instructions for the apps that built upon Builder that can fix builder's issue and still allow to be hosted on Splunk store.    Thanks for any feedback and information.     Lixin ...

Hi,  Our app was built from Splunk add-on builder 3.0.1 which is supposed to support both python2 and python3. We use python3 in configure files and passed cloud vetting.  My question is when Splunk formally drop python2 at this fall, would our app still safe and staying on Splunkbase? I did a scan with your Python upgrade readiness app but it flagged me failure. Even I deleted the aob_py2 folder add-on builder generated, still failed.    Has Add-on builder itself passed this "python Upgrade Readiness App" test? What apps like us, built from add-on builder need to do to comply the python upgrade readiness requirement? Will Add-on builder release a new version after dropping python2 entirely and we need rebuild our apps upon the new builder version?   Please let me know,    Thanks!   Lixin ... View more

Hi all,  I am just learning Splunk because the need for applying our addon to be cloud vetted ( therefore I really don't know much splunk development yet, but need to get this done soon) . It is an addon to connect to our server and pulling in logs. Each pull would have to auth first, therefore we save token locally so only need auth once for certain interval ( lifetime of the token). But that won't do for cloud based addon. (Vetting report says " Storing authentication token in checkpoint which is not allowed in Splunk cloud. Please don't store such sensitive information") Any other way I can save token for addon functionality purpose? . I heard mentioning of storage/passwords endpoint, is that only for user credential or it can be used for saving application token as well?   Thanks in advance! I searched whole day, still not clear the direction.  ... View more
