Hi Splunkers
We have built a custom technical add-on for our BlueCoat Appliances. Now Splunk is marking this TA as deprecated (Message: "Deprecated app TA-bluecoat is installed in the enabled state. Please uninstall this app using methods appropriate for your installation")
How can it be that Splunk marks a custom add-on as deprecated?
The app.conf setting check_for_updates is set to false - so there should be no check here.
Can we solve this somehow, as the message is quite nagging, and we are needing the TA?
Thanks for your advice.

I can give the answer myself here - after some thorough investigation...
The reason was our installation of the Splunk Enterprise Security Suite. During installation the TA was marked as deprecated, as it should have been replaced by a new one.
We have removed the app out of the ESS list of deprecated apps, and everything works fine!

During installation the TA was marked as deprecated, as it should have been replaced by a new one. In my case I am specifically using an app that has the same name as a depreciated app.
To turn off the nagging alert I removed the app from this file.

I guess a better question is how do you fix this? what needs to be updated to stop this error message?

Where do you find the ESS list of deprecated apps?

Not sure why the message, but perhaps you can use this TA instead: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2758/

I would assume it's been deprecated as per the Advanced XML deprecation (release 6.3+). Unfortunately I can only comment as I dont know how to disable the message as you desire.
