List Deployment Clients Permanently

Is there a way to list the deployment clients connected to my deployment server that have ever connected to it even once? I've found queries to display it and obviously this information is located on the gui under Forwarder Management > Clients - But, the list of clients resets when you restart splunk on the deployment server. This is making it difficult to keep track of which clients are properly phoning home while I'm making changes to configuration files (which require a splunk restart to go into effect). When splunk is reset, it repopulates the clients list with the ones who are actively phoning home but there is no way to tell if a client should be but isn't because they were erased from this list from the restart. If there is a way that I can find a list of any client that has ever connected, to easier know which clients I have in this environment so far, that would help a lot. Any input at all is appreciated. Thanks !

Hi

you could found that information from internal logs. Here is one answer which shows it (not the same issue, but you will get the idea).

Show all the deployment client messages from the client
