We are utilizing a deployment server to push out UF agent config to our Citrix VM, however, not all devices are reporting into Deployment server---they are showing in Splunk cloud as all devices sending data
In working with support they suggested to rename /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/instance.cfg to backup_instances.cfg (or something similar)
This seems to work for the device to register, however, this will be overwritten when a new master image push out is done
Has anyone encountered this before and what steps have you used to monitor devices on DS
Thanks,
Jeff
My engineering team uses the following script for Splunk config
Seal Script
# generalize splunk
Stop-Process -InputObject $p -Force
Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
if (get-service -Name SplunkForwarder | Where status -eq "stopped")
{
write-host "Splunk Service Stopped..."
}
$Host.PrivateData.VerboseForegroundColor = 'Yellow'
start-process -nonewwindow -filepath "C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\bin\splunk.exe" -argumentlist 'clone-prep-clear-config' -wait -verbose
write-host "Splunk Machine ID removed..."
