NOTE: This code is no longer supported. While this may still work for many TA's, it's no longer a sure thing so YMMV.

ucc Migration Test

This file contains source for a Unix shell script to perform a migration of modular inputs from a Splunk Add-On Builder(AOB) generated source base into a new Splunk UCC-based Add-On (a.k.a. TA). Splunk Universal Configuration Console (UCC) format provides a consistent user interface across all Splunk Add-Ons.

The script uses the helper functions from AOB's python3 libraries and merges the souce code from AOB-generated Inputs into a single file for each input. There are a number of edits performed using sed, awk and grep that create a new TA in the package directory.

This script copies the globalConfig.json file to the root directory providing the proper setup to execute the addonfactory-ucc-generator utility.

The script will make modifications to your python files and then prompt you to run ucc-gen, package the application for Splunkbase and submit the package to appInspect. Each of these actions are recommended but optional and separate scripts are included to package the add-on and submit it to appInspect at later points in time.

Notes

• This utility has been tested for migrating Modular Inputs (both custom and REST calls) as well as Alert Actions.
• The ucc-gen utility can be found here: https://github.com/splunk/addonfactory-ucc-generator
• ucc-gen is installed using $ pip3 install splunk-add-on-ucc-framework

Instructions

1. Clone this repository to your local machine
2. Copy your TA's entire directory into this directory /ucc-migration_test/Splunk_TA_XXX
3. Run the convert.sh script from the root directory of this repository passing in the name of the TA’s directory ./convert.sh Splunk_TA_XXX Your new source code will now be located in the /ucc-migration_test/package directory and is setup to run ucc-gen.
4. Accept the prompt to run ucc-gen with the --ta-version parameter OR exit and execute ucc-gen command from the /ucc-migration_test directory later. The new TA will be written to a ucc-migration_test/output directory.
5. Accept the prompt package your TA into a .tgz file OR exit and package the TA later using the package_app.sh script included.
6. Upload your new TA from ucc-migration_test/output/ to a Splunk server and test it out.
7. Accept the prompt to submit your app to Splunk's appInspect process OR exit and submit the TA later using the submit_appInspect.sh script included
