QuestionQ167

Forwarder and Deployment Best Practices

On search head cluster members, in which location under $SPLUNK_HOME does the Splunk Deployer deploy app content by default?

  • A etc/deploy-apps/
  • B etc/shcluster/
  • C etc/slave-apps/
  • D etc/apps/
Explanation

The deployer uses etc/shcluster/apps as the bundle location on the deployer itself, while deployed application content on search head cluster members resides in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps. Splunk documentation describes the deployer’s default merge_to_default mode as writing the app’s content to each member’s $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appname>/default directory.
