What is the bare minumum files on a deployment-app?
In this case i want to monitor the dhcp log files on a windows server (i control the client with a deployment-server)

Right now i only have one file in /opt/splunk/etc/deployment-apps/DHCP/local/inputs.conf

[monitor://$WINDIR\System32\DHCP]
disabled = 1
whitelist = DhcpSrvLog*
crcSalt = <SOURCE>
sourcetype = DhcpSrvLog

host = 192.168.1.1:9997

You can totally have an app with just a single config file. Assign it to the serverclass, reload the class, and all servers in that class will pull it down and restart or not depending on how you've configured that class.

The file path looks a bit off. I'd check the windows app for reference : https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/742/

[monitor://$WINDIR\System32\DHCP]
 disabled = 1
 whitelist = DhcpSrvLog*
 crcSalt = <SOURCE>
 sourcetype = DhcpSrvLog

You'll want to set disable = 0 of course to actually enable the input when you are ready.

Yeah, this is from the windows app:

DHCP

[monitor://$WINDIR\System32\DHCP]
disabled = 1
whitelist = DhcpSrvLog*
crcSalt =
sourcetype = DhcpSrvLog
index = windows
