Is it possible to install an app without its dependencies in Splunk Cloud?

In Splunk Cloud, it is not permitted to install an app without its dependencies. Each app typically requires specific components or other apps to function correctly. These dependencies may include additional libraries, configurations, or other apps that provide necessary functionality. Not adhering to these dependencies could lead to incomplete functionality, errors, or even cause crashes, as the app relies on those components to perform its tasks effectively.

By enforcing this rule, Splunk ensures that users have a reliable and stable experience with their applications, minimizing issues related to missing components. The dependency mechanism facilitates proper integration and interaction between different apps and the Splunk platform, ensuring smooth data analysis and operational processes.

While some might think that they could manage without dependencies, this often leads to complications, reinforcing the importance of aligning with the established protocols around app installation in Splunk Cloud.
