Description

A great feature in contentctl which would enable faster onboarding of content from a splunk environment is import from existing conf files.
There was initial work towards that here: https://github.com/splunk/contentctl/pull/84
But since that was opened the structure of the codebase has changed significantly. As such, that PR has been closed out.
Let's track this as it is an oft-requested feature, especially for new users.

I will tag @0xC0FFEEEE directly in this issue so that they can provide comments and feedback if they would like 😄

Research direction

Start by reviewing the closed pull request #84 alongside the current contentctl codebase, since the issue says the structure has changed significantly. Define which existing Splunk conf files are supported and how successful imports will be validated; the work is done when the agreed import scope is implemented and tested.
