My splunk app requires external python libraries.
On my own system I can install these.
However, now I want to package my app for other Splunk users.
What is the standard way to handle the required installation of new python libraries when packaging a Splunk app for others to use?
What I do is:
1) If the app requires lots of libraries (which seems to be your case), a README, or requirements.txt will do. I require people to install the dependencies before using the App. Just like any software.
2) If the libraries are small, I embed them. This way I guarantee the behavior. With new app update, libraries are updated.
2nd option , how do we do that? how to embed the py lib in app. please guide me here
Just put the library folder in your Splunk App's bin folder and that way you can access it in your app code via import statements.
This is the approach I am taking as well.
