The deployment server and deployer are separate VMs. The deployment server <STRONG>should</STRONG> be separate especially if you plan to grow to any size over a thousand UFs. It gets busy. The cluster master can also get busy as your environment increases. So if you are big enough to have a distributed environment, it's probably good to have those separate. The license master is the one that could be combined with another most easily, as I have.</P> Sun, 08 Oct 2017 12:41:37 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290602#M11001 cpetterborg 2017-10-08T12:41:37Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290603#M11002 <P>Thanks for the quick response,let me try to explain my question again. If I am planning to have all the above components in one server,do I need to install 3 times in different path and assignment each component with different management port? This is for testing environment. Will do the recommended deployment in production.</P> Sun, 08 Oct 2017 15:16:24 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290603#M11002 ansif 2017-10-08T15:16:24Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290604#M11003 <P>It will be one installation of Splunk performing multiple functions, you will not need to install multiple instances of Splunk on the same server.<BR /> The Splunk enterprise installation is the one binary you will require, the software can perform different functions depending on how you set it up...</P> <P>For example a single instance can index and search.<BR /> Or act as an indexer and a license master (assuming you are not using indexer clustering).<BR /> Or act as cluster master, license master and deployment server.</P> <P>As per the previous comments you <EM>will</EM> want to build a separate deployment server (new server/splunk instance) once you exceed a large number of deployment clients, however you can start with just 1 installation and 1 machine and change this later...</P> Mon, 09 Oct 2017 00:00:47 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290604#M11003 gjanders 2017-10-09T00:00:47Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290605#M11004 <P>This answered my question.</P> Mon, 09 Oct 2017 03:23:47 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290605#M11004 ansif 2017-10-09T03:23:47Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290606#M11005 <P>@ansif, I have converted @garethatiag 's comment to Answer.

A Splunk role is defined by configuration and any instance can perform multiple roles, with literally only one exception: A deployment server cannot be a deployment client of itself.</P> Mon, 09 Oct 2017 17:58:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290607#M11006 s2_splunk 2017-10-09T17:58:07Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290608#M11007 <P>Thanks @niketnilay.Its done.</P> Tue, 10 Oct 2017 05:33:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Do-I-need-to-install-deployment-monitor-cluster-master-search/m-p/290608#M11007 ansif 2017-10-10T05:33:43Z
