Packaging & Distribution

Before publishing to Splunkbase, apps must pass AppInspect — an automated validation tool that checks for security issues, deprecated features, and best practices.

The `slim package` CLI utility compresses the app directory into a `.tar.gz` package ready for submission or manual installation on other Splunk instances.
