An attempt to make use of this would be essentially an experiment. I do not think this would be reasonable in any production environment. </P> <P>If using the deployment server for this task is important to you, do push for it through the support channel. It may be that there is a small amount of additional work in polish, and then of course documentation, or it may be that much work remains.</P> Fri, 28 May 2010 04:28:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-upgrade-forwarders-with-deployment-server/m-p/14391#M1466 jrodman 2010-05-28T04:28:40Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-upgrade-forwarders-with-deployment-server/m-p/14392#M1467 <P>Any update on this ?
