Hello, is it possible to push/upgrade a SHC app to single search head for testing, in a production cluster?

Thanks.

Hi @splunkreal ,

in a Search Head Cluster, all the nodes have the same configurations!

If you want to test, use and additional stand-alone SH (out of the SHC).

Ciao.

If you mean that you want to deploy a new version of an app to only one node of your X-node SHC, the answer is even if you technicaly could you most definitely should not. The only ways of managing config on the nodes is either by deployer or by REST API (or fiddling with the GUI but it boils down to the same thing).

If you want to test, you should have a test environment. (Yes, I know - everyone has a test env, some people are lucky enough to have a separate prod)
