Deployment Server and deployment apps issue.

[splunktrainingu]

I am having issues with my deployment app config files. Whenever I edit the config file for my applications in my deployment apps and save it it doesn't replicate to those deployment clients. From my understanding the clients check their md5 hash of the apps in their folder and the server compares then pushes the new config files. I am not seeing any of my changes propagate because I know that I edited the config file and added event ID 4776 to be blacklisted and I can see it in my search results.

How do I fix this?

Silly me, so under forwarder management you have to go to the apps tab and check the splunkd restart box and this fixed the the problem.
