When deploying apps on Universal Forwarders using the deployment server, what is the correct component and location of the app before it is deployed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C. On Deployment Server, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps.

A deployment server is a Splunk Enterprise instance that acts as a centralized configuration manager for any number of other instances, called ''deployment clients''. A deployment client can be a universal forwarder, a non-clustered indexer, or a search head1.

A deployment app is a directory that contains any content that you want to download to a set of deployment clients. The content can include a Splunk Enterprise app, a set of Splunk Enterprise configurations, or other content, such as scripts, images, and supporting files2.

You create a deployment app by creating a directory for it on the deployment server. The default location is $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps, but this is configurable through the repositoryLocation attribute in serverclass.conf. Underneath this location, each app must have its own subdirectory. The name of the subdirectory serves as the app name in the forwarder management interface2.

The other options are incorrect because:

A) On Universal Forwarder, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps. This is the location where the deployment app resides after it is downloaded from the deployment server to the universal forwarder. It is not the location of the app before it is deployed2.

B) On Deployment Server, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps. This is the location where the apps that are specific to the deployment server itself reside. It is not the location where the deployment apps for the clients are stored2.

D) On Universal Forwarder, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps. This is not a valid location for any app on a universal forwarder. The universal forwarder does not act as a deployment server and does not store deployment apps3.

That's a good point, Fausto. Having the app on the Universal Forwarder ensures that it is ready for deployment without any delays.

I'm going to have to go with C. The Deployment Server is where the app needs to be before it gets deployed. It's like a pre-deployment staging area.

I see. So, it's important to have the app in the right location before deploying it to the Universal Forwarders.

That makes sense. It's like a central location for all the apps before they get deployed.

But wouldn't it make more sense for the app to be on the Universal Forwarder first, before deploying it from the Deployment Server?

I agree with Fausto, the app should be on the Universal Forwarder before deployment.

This is a trick question! The app should be on both the Deployment Server and the Universal Forwarder. Gotta cover all the bases, am I right?

I'm going with B. The app has to be in the apps directory on the Deployment Server. Why would it be on the Universal Forwarder?

D has to be the right answer. The app should be in the deployment-apps directory on the Universal Forwarder, right?
