I updated the default.xml for search on a member and did a refresh, and it propogated to the other members. I'm a little disappointed that I can't manage this from the deployer like all the other configs, but whatever works.</P> Tue, 14 Jun 2016 19:29:18 GMT jhedgpeth 2016-06-14T19:29:18Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/What-is-the-best-way-to-recreate-and-deploy-an-app-with-a-custom/m-p/208636#M7827 <P>We currently have a standalone search head (5.0.7) with customization to the nav bar ( etc/apps/search/local/data/ui/nav/default.xml ) to help users quickly access searches and dashboards.</P> <P>We are building a new search head CLUSTER (6.3.3), and I do not know how to recreate this when using the deployer for the cluster. It seems it would be a simple matter of deploying the default search app with our tweaks, but the docs specifically say not to deploy default apps like search.</P> <P>Manually copying the file into the search app on all the cluster nodes seems backwards and would be annoying to keep up to date.</P> <P>What's the best way to solve this?</P> Tue, 14 Jun 2016 14:26:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/What-is-the-best-way-to-recreate-and-deploy-an-app-with-a-custom/m-p/208636#M7827 jhedgpeth 2016-06-14T14:26:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/What-is-the-best-way-to-recreate-and-deploy-an-app-with-a-custom/m-p/208637#M7828 <P>Hello,</P> <P>Navigation changes are propagated automatically in a search head cluster. I have deployed all the content i need and then i made changes to the Search app navigation on one Search head and it is reflected on all the other SHC members.</P> <P>When you say manually copying file to each SHC, are you talking about js, css or simple XML tree menu bar (User Interface/Navigation/default)?</P> <P>Hope this helps</P> <P>Thanks,<BR /> Raghav</P> Tue, 14 Jun 2016 14:43:33 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/What-is-the-best-way-to-recreate-and-deploy-an-app-with-a-custom/m-p/208637#M7828 Raghav2384 2016-06-14T14:43:33Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/What-is-the-best-way-to-recreate-and-deploy-an-app-with-a-custom/m-p/208638#M7829 <P>thanks, it makes sense when you describe it like that.
