When creating a deployment app in Splunk, certain files and folders are considered essential to ensure proper configuration and operation:
* app.conf (in default or local):This is required as it defines the app's metadata and behaviors.
* local.meta:This file is important for defining access permissions for the app and is often included.
* metadata folder:The metadata folder contains files like local.meta and default.meta and is typically required for defining permissions and other metadata-related settings.
* props.conf:While props.conf is essential for many Splunk apps, it is not mandatory unless you need to define specific data parsing or transformation rules.
D: props.confis the correct answer because, although it is commonly used, it is not a mandatory part of every deployment app. An app may not need data parsing configurations, and thus, props.conf might not be present in some apps.
Splunk Documentation References:
* Building Splunk Apps
* Deployment Apps
This confirms thatprops.confis not a required part of a deployment app, making it the correct answer.
