When the phoneHomeIntervalInSecs is changed, you must restart the forwarder. That is usually not a problem on a forwarder.

However, it could be a problem on an indexer or search head. I don't know if this will work but you could try

 http(s)://yoursplunkhost:8000/debug/refresh

or the equivalent REST endpoint. I know this causes Splunk to rescan props.conf and transforms.conf, but I don't know if it will pick up deploymentclient.conf
