app not deploying to client

Mag2sub
Path Finder

1 Serverclass.conf in ~splunk/etc/system/local using clientName attribute

placeholder app in ~splunk/etc/deployment-apps/placeholder
[global]
whitelist.0=*
stateOnClient = enabled
[serverClass:base-xyz]
filterType = whitelist
whitelist.0 = xyz-common-apps
[serverClass:base-xyz:app:placeholder]

2 deploymentclient.conf on deployment client /etc/system/local

[deployment-client]
disabled = 0
clientName = xyz-common-apps
[target-broker:deploymentServer]
targetUri = x.y.z.d:8089

3 list deploy-clients in DS shows deployment client with right client name connected

But still no app has been deployed to client although app is available

4 restarted both sides

Appreciate inputs

Thanks

Just got around to spending some time on this and realised i had typo ed the deployment app folder name and only when i changed the app stanza in serverclass to the typo ed name it worked....always get confused when they mean folder name when they say app name in description!

Getting back just piggybacking a extended question

what would be real disadvantage of having a system local deploymentclient.conf other than the usual suspects of
1)Cannot centrally manage the deploymentclient.conf file itself thru an app to bootstrap it or embed it in each deployable app ?

Even if we were to deploy the deloymentclient.conf in an app...unless im amiss the first CLI deploy poll from client would create the deploymentclient.conf in system local and you would have the app local also deployed ...we would have to remove the system local client always as a clean up....?

Trying to touch remote machines only when necessary

Ideally, you'd manage deploymentclient.conf in an app, should you ever need to relocate the DS to a new server.

For these types of spelling issues I run the following query once an hour:

index=_internal source=*splunkd.log (component=application OR component=serverclass) warn OR error

since you solved your own problem, I moved your comment to the answer and selected it as correct so you'd get karma for it. For your "piggyback" question, I would recommend pulling it out as a distinct question for folks to find/comment on/answer. The answers site "model" really doesn't work well for doing "piggybacking"

Is the target ${SPLUNK_HOME}/etc/apps writable by the uid running splunkd?
