I'm interested in Modular Input.
So first of all, I tried to reverse-engineer Apps "Command Modular Input".
Command Modular Input - Splunk Community

But both GNU tar command and BSD tar command cannot untar the app.
How to set up this App...

# tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.23
# tar xvfz command_ta-1.0beta.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
# ls -l command_ta-1.0beta.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2311 Jun 26 09:00 command_ta-1.0beta.tar.gz
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

Thank you.

I had another try.
I made a mistake of previous comment.
Actually tar file is HTML document, not XML doc.

file command_ta-1.0beta.tar.gz
command_ta-1.0beta.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix

gunzip command_ta-1.0beta.tar.gz

file command_ta-1.0beta.tar
command_ta-1.0beta.tar: HTML document text

Sorry , I can't reproduce your issue. Same GNU tar version , tried on several different Nix platforms.

Maybe your download got corrupted ?

I download it through "Download App button".
And I can unzip the file, but it remains text(XML) file as "command_ta-1.0beta.tar"....

Works fine for me when I download it from SplunkBase : tar -xzf command_ta-1.0beta.tar.gz

Tried it on 4 different OS to be sure 🙂
