[All SPLK-1005 Questions]

Which file or folder below is not a required part of a deployment app?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

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.conf is 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 Reference:

Building Splunk Apps

Deployment Apps

This confirms that props.conf is not a required part of a deployment app, making it the correct answer.

I agree, props.conf is a must-have!

D) props.conf is the odd one out here. That's just for configuring properties, not for deployment.

Local.meta? Seriously, what even is that? Definitely not a required file.

I think the app.conf file is the one that's not required. Who needs configuration anyway?

The metadata folder is definitely not required for a deployment app. That's just extra fluff.

I have a vague memory that app.conf is crucial, but I can't recall if local.meta is always needed.

I practiced a similar question where props.conf was definitely required, so I doubt it's the answer here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like local.meta could be optional in some cases.

I think I remember that the metadata folder is usually essential for deployment apps, so it might not be the answer.

Okay, let me see. The app.conf, local.meta, and props.conf files are all required, so that leaves the metadata folder as the one that's not required. I'll go with that.
