Getting Data In

About deployment-apps

Hi, all.

I have a cluster environment. (1 search head, 2 indexer)
I want to change the character code of the data.

So, I rewritten and reloaded props.conf of the application under deployment-apps of the cluster master.

But when I look at the splunk answer, it looks different.

https://answers.splunk.com/answers/107512/where-do-i-edit-props-conf-in-a-cluster.html

Why is this answer instead of creating props.conf for apps under deployment-apps?
I understand that I should go through props.conf before indexing, but I can't understand the difference with deployment-apps.

Could you help me?

Thank you.

Do not use the deployment server (etc/deployment-apps) to send configuration to clustered indexers, use the cluster master (etc/master-apps).

Hi @nanachu,
the folder deployment-apps is only to deploy apps using the Deployment Server, the folder to deploy apps in Master Node is master-apps.
You can find more infos at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/Indexer/Manageappdeployment

Ciao.
