Deployment Architecture

Deployment Server

Hello,

Could someone please help me with this question : should the clients of the deployment server only be forwarders, or can any component of the architecture (indexers, search heads) be a client of the deployment server as well ?

Hi @BRFZ,

you can use Deployment server to manage also Not clustered Indexers and not clustered Seach Head, even if it isn't a best practice.

You cannot manage clustered SHs or IDXs.

Ciao.

Hello @gcusello 
I thank you for your response. So, is everything managed from the Forwarder Management section, including the management of non-clustered IDX and SH ?

Hi @BRFZ ,

yes, you can manage not clustered SHs and IDXs, even if I don't like this.

Ciao.
