Dear SPLUNK Community,

I setup deploy-poll on the Master Node, but it is not appearing on the list of clients on the Forwarder Management GUI. It is appearing when I do ./splunk list deploy-clients on the DS.

deploymentclient.conf on Master:

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

[target-broker:deploymentServer]
targetUri = <DS_hostname:mgmtPort>

serverclass.conf on DS:

[serverClass:Master]
whitelist.0 = <Master_hostname>
stateOnClient = noop

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance!!

I restarted the DS server again for fixing something else and it worked!

Thanks
