What does the AppInspect API check for during Cloud validation?

The AppInspect API conducts vulnerability assessments during Cloud validation. This is crucial for ensuring the security and integrity of applications deployed within Splunk Cloud. By running these assessments, the API identifies potential security issues, coding errors, and design flaws that could lead to vulnerabilities in the application. This proactive approach helps maintain a secure environment, preventing risks that could arise from unverified or poorly designed apps.

In contrast, options that focus solely on installation success, anomaly detection, or antivirus status do not capture the comprehensive security focus of the AppInspect API. The core purpose of the API is to assess how well an app adheres to Splunk’s security standards rather than merely confirming that it has been installed or checking for unusual patterns or malware, which fall outside its primary scope.
