Hi,
The Install Guide for VMware App 3.1.0 says:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/VMW/3.1/Install/Installonyoursearchheadorindexer
Note that on a dedicated indexer, for a valid install, the following files exist in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps: /SA-Utils/… /SA-Hydra/… /Splunk_TA_vcenter/… /Splunk_TA_vmware/… /Splunk_TA_esxilogs/...
Do you really mean etc/deployment-apps/?? Are these apps being somehow deployed? Where to? Otherwise what's the point of having them in etc/deployment-apps/?
Just to make sure: The above mentioned apps are to be moved away from etc/apps/ into /etc/deployment-apps/ on a dedicated indexer, right? Not additionally copied?
Regards,
Bartosz

In single-machine Splunk deployments, where the indexing and search capability resides on the one host, on the host that is your indexer and search head, install the splunk_app_vmware-
In a distributed search environment, where indexing and search functions are split, you ONLY need the SA's and TA's installed on the indexer. The /etc/deployment-apps folder is provided to give you the files you need.
The process is as follows:
1. Install the splunk_app_vmware-
2. On each search peer (indexer) install all of the SA's and TA's.
The component matrix shows where the bits go. See: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/VMW/latest/Install/Componentreferencetable#Component_Distributi...
I hope this helps.

All right. Thanks for the explanation. The sentence about the components being in etc/deployment-apps could be a little bit more descriptive.
However it's clear now.

it means on dedicated indexers, those apps must be installed. If you have deployment server, please ensure those apps are copied to the deployment-apps folder of the deployment server.
