How can I deploy the TA_nix on the deployment server?

[danielbb]

What would be the proper way to deploy the TA_nix on the deployment server, is the reload option available or do I need to bounce the server?

If you are installing this TA for monitoring DS itself then @richgalloway answer is correct. But if you are installing it for deploy it to some UF's, then you need to something else.

Sounds great @richgalloway , how would the reload command would look like?

Hi @danielbb 

As mentioned by @richgalloway  config reload will be done automatically if app installed via UI, no need to explictly run the commad for config to take effect.

however reload command for pushing apps to UF looks like below

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk btool reload deploy-server -class <serverclassname>

[richgalloway]

That command is for after making changes to serverclass.conf.  It won't help after installing an app on the DS.

To reload configs, try this command

Apps are installed on a DS the same as on any standalone search head.  You can either use the reload or restart Splunk.  If you install the app from the UI then the reload is automatic, although some apps require a restart (for which you will be prompted).
