Troubleshooting
Problem
Customers attempting to upload the ZLDA Splunk Cloud application (ibm_zlda_insights_cloud.spl) to Splunk Cloud may encounter a failure during the upload process. The application fails validation and cannot be installed.
Cause
On April 29, 2025, Splunk released AppInspect v3.10.0, which introduced a new validation check: check_reload_trigger_for_meta.
This check requires that any stanza in the metadata directory referencing a custom configuration file must have a corresponding reload trigger defined in the app’s app.conf file. Versions of the ZLDA application prior to Fix Pack 21 do not include this trigger, resulting in a validation warning that blocks installation.
Environment
Splunk AppInspect : v3.10.0 and later
Platform: Splunk Cloud
Diagnosing The Problem
When running AppInspect v3.10.0 or later, the following warning is generated:
"name": "check_reload_trigger_for_meta",
"result": "warning",
"messages": [
{
"message": "Stanza [lookups] requires a conf-level reload trigger. Add reload.lookups to [triggers] stanza in app.conf. File: default/app.conf"
}
]
}
This warning causes the Splunk Cloud platform to reject the application upload, as warnings are treated as blocking issues for cloud deployments.
