Splunk Tiered Deployment Example Configuration

This set of configuration files shows how to roll out a tiered strategy for your Splunk
deployment servers. In this example, we have:

  • 1 primary deployment server
  • 1 or more secondary deployment servers
  • an arbitrary number of Splunk instances acting as deployment clients to the primary
    and secondary deployment servers

The Primary Deployment Server

The primary deployment server serves as the main app repository. In this example, it has:

In $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps:

  • foo (an arbitrary app)
  • TA-sos (the technology add-on for Splunk On Splunk on *Nix hosts)
  • TA-sos_win (the technology add-on for Splunk on Splunk on Windows hosts)

The Secondary Deployment Server

The secondary deployment server downloads its apps from the primary deployment server.
In this example, it will end up with the following:

In $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps:

  • foo (an abritrary app)
  • TA-sos or TA-sos_win (depending on the OS)

In $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps:

  • TA-sos
  • TA-sos_win
