I am a beginner in splunk and I have created a new app in the Splunk Enterprise.I am not able to see appserver folder in the newly created app? How can I add that directory?

Hi

When you are creating an app into Splunk with GUI, there are two separate templates to chosen. Based on your chose it will create different files and directories under that app.

When you are starting to create own apps and TAs, I strongly propose that you start to use e.g. git to store those and keep track on your changes. Then you could use some editor like Visual Studio Code to write those together with Simple XML editor and/or Dashboard Studio.

There are some old .conf presentation how you can do this. Also read instructions from dev.splunk.com about this.

Hi @dhruvisha2345,

if you created the new app by GUI, you have only to upload a file and Splunk automaticall add the appserver/static folder.

If you created the app by SH, you have to manually create it.

Ciao.
