Per-app machineTypesFilter broken in serverclass.conf

[marksnelling]

I have a server class defined in serverclass.conf and I want to install a different app based on the machineTypesFilter.

[global]
repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps
targetRepositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
stateOnClient = enabled
restartSplunkd = true
whitelist.0 = *

[serverClass:SomeClass]
whitelist.0 = *
[serverClass:SomeClass:app:WindowsApp]
machineTypesFilter = windows-x64
[serverClass:SomeClass:app:LinuxApp]
machineTypesFilter = linux-x86_64

However the machineTypesFilter seems to be broken and no apps are deployed.

This is basically a copy of Example 3 in the serverclass.conf documentation.

Use whitelist in AND at app level too...


[serverClass:SomeClass]
whitelist.0 = *

[serverClass:SomeClass:app:WindowsApp]
whitelist.0 = *
machineTypesFilter = windows-x64

[serverClass:SomeClass:app:LinuxApp]
whitelist.0 = *
machineTypesFilter = linux-x86_64

Not if you add a 'blacklist' entry that contains the machines you don't want the app deployed on to the global stanza. Remember, filterType as whitelist means blacklisted items get excluded unconditionally.

This does not work if you need a global blacklist, because the whitelist.0=* line will then deploy the app to all servers so long as they match the machineFilterType.
