Deployment Architecture

Deployment Server with multiple repository locations using repositoryLocation=

Trying to configure a deployment server to support multiple organizations. I have created a directory structure within deployment-apps for this purpose.

I have a serverclass.conf file which should support this structure using repositoryLocation= but it doesn't seem to be working correctly as my test client is not receiving the proper configuration files.

serverclass.conf

[global]
stateOnClient = enabled
blacklist.0=*
continueMatching = true

[serverClass:aa]
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps/aa/
blacklist.0=*
whitelist.0=aa
[serverClass:aa:app:SplunkLightForwarder]
stateOnClient = enabled
restartSplunkd = true
[serverClass:aa:app:sample_app]
stateOnClient = disabled
[serverClass:aa:app:gettingstarted]
stateOnClient = disabled
[serverClass:aa:app:windows]
machineTypes = windows-intel,windows-x64
restartSplunkd = true
[serverClass:aa:app:unix]
machineTypes = linux-i686,linux-x86_64,freebsd-i386,sunos-sun4u
restartSplunkd = true

[serverClass:ba]
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps/ba/
blacklist.0=*
whitelist.0=ba
[serverClass:ba:app:SplunkLightForwarder]
stateOnClient = enabled
restartSplunkd = true
[serverClass:ba:app:sample_app]
stateOnClient = disabled
[serverClass:ba:app:gettingstarted]
stateOnClient = disabled
[serverClass:ba:app:windows]
machineTypes = windows-intel,windows-x64
restartSplunkd = true
[serverClass:ba:app:unix]
machineTypes = linux-i686,linux-x86_64,freebsd-i386,sunos-sun4u
restartSplunkd = true

deploymentclient.conf

[deployment-client]
disabled = false
clientName = ba
[target-broker:deploymentServer]
targetUri=<serverip>:8089

UPDATED Ended up changing the configuration once again. Removed the filterType= and blacklist= stanzas all together to get the configuration working properly.

I used the filterType=blacklist stanza which worked but ended up breaking the machineTypes filter further into the configuration.

Upon removing filterType=blacklist and blacklist.0=* the clients are properly parsing through the serverclass.conf file and receiving the proper apps and configurations for those apps.

So my configuration ends up as below.

[serverClass:aa]
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps/aa/
whitelist.0=aa
[serverClass:aa:app:SplunkLightForwarder]
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps/aa/
stateOnClient = enabled
restartSplunkd = true
[serverClass:aa:app:sample_app]
stateOnClient = disabled
[serverClass:aa:app:gettingstarted]
stateOnClient = disabled
[serverClass:aa:app:windows]
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps/aa/
machineTypes = windows-intel,windows-x64
restartSplunkd = true
[serverClass:aa:app:unix]
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps/aa/
machineTypes = linux-i686,linux-x86_64,freebsd-i386,sunos-sun4u
restartSplunkd = true
