What file formats are accepted when installing an app from a file?

.jpeg, .csv, .zip, .txt
.tar.gz, .tgz, .zip, .spl
.exe, .msi, .tar, .json
.py, .pl, .jar, .dll

The correct answer is: .tar.gz, .tgz, .zip, .spl

When installing an app from a file in Splunk, the accepted formats are specifically those that can package the necessary components for the app. The correct choice, which includes .tar.gz, .tgz, .zip, and .spl, encompasses the common and standard formats used for distributing Splunk apps. These formats are designed to contain various files and directories needed for Splunk applications, including scripts, configurations, and metadata. .zip files are widely used because they are easy to create and extract. .tar.gz and .tgz are also popular in Unix/Linux environments, known for efficiently compressing files. The .spl format specifically refers to Splunk packages that are used to distribute apps and can contain additional information that is crucial for the app's integration with Splunk. The other options list file formats that are either not relevant or commonly used for app installations in Splunk. For example, image formats such as .jpeg do not contain application data, while executable and script formats like .exe, .msi, .py, and others serve different purposes unrelated to the direct installation of Splunk apps.
