How to connect a cluster master node to a deployment server?

[chawagon03]

I'm trying to connect the cluster master node/deployer to my deployment server/license master instance. However, once I set deploy-poll to the deployment server, the deployment server is not seeing it. The CM node has no issues connecting to that server for license details, but absolutely nothing in terms of deployment stuff.

Anyone have any insight on this? Is it because it's using the same URI for license master or something?

Hi chawagon, based on the log sample you provided, it looks like there is an issue with the CM being able to resolve it's hostname. Essentially, make sure that the entries in $SPLUNKHOME/etc/system/local/inputs.conf and server.conf are resolvable through DNS or /etc/hosts.

what do you see in splunkd.log on the CM/deployer ? What does etc/system/local/deploymentclient.conf look like on the CM/deployer instance?

After more testing - this seems to be a 6.3 bug

This setup works completely fine with 6.2.5 using the same settings as my 6.3 environment is using. Not sure how to put in a ticket, but this needs to be looked at.

Just another bit of info - I also have 2 linux UF, 1 Solaris UF, and 1 Windows UF connected to it just fine.

also running version 6.3

splunk display deploy-client says enabled on CM/deployer

splunk display deploy-server says enabled on DS/LM

[chawagon03]

[deployment-client]
serverRepositoryLocationPolicy = rejectAlways
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/master-apps

[target-broker:deploymentServer]
targetUri = x.x.x.x:8089

[chawagon03]

• WARN DistributedPeerManagerHeartbeat - Unable to get server info from peer: http://x.x.x.x:8089 due to: Connection refused

This is the only thing I see that doesn't regard LM (license master) - this is a vm so there isn't a ton of activity going on
