Description

Hi all, apologies as this is not a standard issue. Long story short I have a UF container running in an environment and need to install the snmp package so I can run a script that that does a snmpwalk for an input.

Is there an easy way to ensure the snmp package gets installed in this container, without creating a new image? I was hoping to rig up something using the SPLUNK_CMD ENV, but wanted to ask here first. Basically, I want to run this every time the container starts up:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install snmp

Does this container have any provisions to help support a task like that?

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue mentions a UF container and SPLUNK_CMD, but no file or test is identified. Start by locating how SPLUNK_CMD is handled at container startup and checking whether that path supports installing apt's snmp package without a new image. Done would be a supported way to perform this setup, or a clear statement that a new image is required.
