Deployment Architecture

How do I permanently disable the deployment server?

I want to turn off the deployment server and force my Splunk setup to simply allow connections from any client. The deployment server doesn't work and some clients show in the list and others do not.

How do I wipe all of the server classes, app classes, client lists, and remove the deployment server setup?

You may have to restart Splunk after.

Disabling the Desployment Server permanently can be accomplished by editing the serverclass.conf and adding the following setting in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local.

[global]
disabled = true

To clear all server classes, etc delete call entries in serverclass.conf.

How'd be handling app/configuration distribution now to deployment clients, as you disabled them, app/configurations deployed by deployment server will get deleted from deployment clients?
