The hosts also do not have access to the internet to download version 2.7. Thus build Python 2.7 on the deployment server and then push it out.</P> Mon, 29 Dec 2014 09:50:50 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170140#M34362 BrendanMcE 2014-12-29T09:50:50Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170141#M34363 <P>The Splunk forwarder cannot "push out" any binary! Forwarders take in data and send it to indexers. That's it.</P> <P>Even the deployment server can't manage binaries.</P> <P>Sorry.</P> Mon, 29 Dec 2014 20:10:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170141#M34363 lguinn2 2014-12-29T20:10:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170142#M34364 <P>I have been able to push out some libraries and binaries from the deployment server to the forwarder by just creating and app and adding the files to this. So this looks like it should be possible. Just need to work out what is needed to get the local Python2.7 working</P> Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:09:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170142#M34364 BrendanMcE 2014-12-30T10:09:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170143#M34365 <P>yes you can do this but not recommended, you can use any other tool like puppet etc for this... </P> Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:48:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170143#M34365 kml_uvce 2014-12-30T10:48:53Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170144#M34366 <P>Found this link as well, with an answer<BR /> <A href="http://answers.splunk.com/answers/203218/errors-on-jmx-ta-using-splunk-universal-forwarders.html">http://answers.splunk.com/answers/203218/errors-on-jmx-ta-using-splunk-universal-forwarders.html</A></P> Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:01:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-Splunk-Deployment-Server-to-push-out/m-p/170144#M34366 BrendanMcE 2014-12-30T13:01:00Z
