Other than using deployment server, can I install app to all these splunk instances remotely using a script instead of installing through Splunk web one by one?</P> <P>I have looked at Java SDK and did not find anything for this, and I have tried the CLI remotely (splunk install app myapp.tar.gz -uri <A href="https://remotehost:8089">https://remotehost:8089</A>), but that gave me error like this: "In handler 'localapps': Error during app install: failed to extract app from myapp.tar.gz : /opt/splunk/var/run/xxxxxxxx No such file or directory".</P> <P>Thanks</P> Wed, 20 Feb 2013 01:51:56 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-install-app-remotely/m-p/37217#M9234 xchang1226 2013-02-20T01:51:56Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-install-app-remotely/m-p/37218#M9235 <P>Deployment server is the way.<BR /> Otherwise you have to use your own devops tools (puppet, chef, scripts....)</P> Wed, 20 Feb 2013 02:15:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-install-app-remotely/m-p/37218#M9235 yannK 2013-02-20T02:15:16Z
