How to check if all apps listed in server class exists in deployment apps directory?

[ben_leung]

I want to perform a check on the deployment server before reloading any apps:

• integrate through all stanzas and identify if it contains app:
• take the app name and then dedupe for any reoccurrence
• cross reference the apps in deployment_apps directory

Is there a Splunk CLI command that would provide this check for me? As far as I know, btool only does syntax checking, not a logical verification.

Have you checked out this REST endpoint yet?

Just checked the output of the xml, seems like I can grab the title tags easily. Thanks for the tip off that endpoint, I missed that one.

I was looking at the help pages under list [deploy-clients|forward-server|search-server]. Something like 'list deployment-apps' would be great to verify the apps that should be there for deployment.

I was hoping /services/properties/serverclass would give me the app in a separate tag.
