Hello
I have a small env( 2 indexers, 1 sh) that we are wanting to connect a new deployment server to the search head. I copied all the apps to the new deployment server. Moved the current SPLUNKHOME/etc/apps directory to SPLUNKHOME/etc/apps.old.whatever. Re-added the SPLUNKHOME/etc/apps directory. Added the deploymentclient.conf file. Restarted.
Waited for a connection:
06-07-2018 21:06:40.618 +0000 INFO DC:HandshakeReplyHandler - Handshake done.
But the deployment server never saw a connection, at least not that I saw in the GUI. So I removed the apps directory and moved the old apps back to the apps directory. and restarted so all would go back to normal. It caused collections to break so I had to fix that but can you tell me:
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for the tips
I figured it out. It wasn't actually an issue at all it just didn't connect and appear in the deployment server as fast as I had anticipated it would. Just took a bit longer but was successful.
Thanks again

Good that it resolved.
You want a deployment server to manage your search head right?
Just place all your search head apps in deployment server $Splunk_Home/etc/deployment-apps directory.And as you mentioned the DS and SH already hand shook you will see all the deployment server apps deployed under /etc/apps dir of Search Head.
NB:- You should create a server class to include those apps for Search head.
As stated I already did that. The issue it that even though it says it connected and did a handshake I never saw the connection in the deployment server in the clients list.
Start with the basic troubleshooting:
telnet deployment server from Search head to the management port and vice versa(default 8089).
Check if services are running on both instance.Do a restart on both instance.
Check deploymentclients configuration file under Search Head.(paste it here)
Let me know if any progress.
Did you create the necessary serverclass.conf entry for your search head and assigned those apps? Does SH can connect to your new DS, firewall wise?
I did yes. I had the serverclass created but it should still connect and show up in the clients tab anyway. I checked ports and everything were open on 8089. Tested telnet including port.
