Deployment Server - Verifying that server is working?

[msarro]

Hi everyone. I am working on setting up a deployment server. I have not yet put any apps in place and am trying to verify connectivity. Each client has a positive response from the display deploy-client comand.

However on the deployment server when I run display deploy-server I receive "Deployment Server is Disabled." There is a basic serverclass.conf file in place in /opt/splunk/etc/system/local, here are the contents:
[global]
whitelist.0=*
restartSplunkd=true
stateOnClient=enabled

Shouldn't this be enough to at least verify trigger the deployment server process to run? I need to verify connectivity before I put apps in place.

There are two things that i would try restart the splunkd service if you haven't already. This should recognize the serverclass.conf file and enable the deployment server. The other thing I would try is to deploy / setup an empty app that does nothing.

Also from the client perspective I think as long as you have the deploymentclient.conf deployed the client will say enabled.

I hope this helps
