How to deploy and configure the Monitoring of Java Virtual Machines for JMX app in a search head clustering environment?

[bwojciechowski]

We have recently moved from a standalone search head to a clustered environment with multiple search heads. I have not seen any documentation as to how this is configured and runs in a clustered environment. Where would the various pieces of this application get deployed? (I am fine with the indexer configuration.)

Any new information on this? Moving the Splunk Add-on for Java Management Extensions from a single search head to a cluster. Very low confidence it'll work.

I did try that configuration. But when I push the app to the search head cluster via the splunk apply shcluster-bundle, I got an error on the search heads -

ERROR ModularInputs - Unable to initialize modular input "jmx" defined inside the app "SPLUNK4JMX": Unable to locate suitable script for introspection.

I then pushed the bin directory to the search heads, as well. This is the error I got

ERROR ModularInputs - Unable to initialize modular input "jmx" defined inside the app "SPLUNK4JMX": Introspecting scheme=jmx: script running failed (exited with code 1).
