Install the new version over the existing one without any backup

A Splunk admin is planning to deploy a solution for the finance team. The finance team needs a set of dashboards and reports, and the data source is a new custom application. The admin wants to minimize the number of packages to manage and maintain. What is the most efficient approach?

Create a single app that includes the data input, field extractions, dashboards, and reports

Use a saved search to collect the data and a dashboard to display it

Create an add-on for the data input and a separate app for the dashboards

Create two apps: one for data input and one for dashboards

Disable the add-on and then re-enable it after the performance issue is resolved

Keep the add-on enabled but move its field extractions to a different app

Investigate the add-on's configuration to identify the cause of the performance issue

Disable the add-on and then create a new app that contains the same field extractions
