Can the Deployment Server be configured to stagger deployments?

Can I configure the Deployment Server in such a way that it staggers the deployment of selected apps?

What I'd like to do on a new implementation I will be doing soon with three indexers is be able to deploy a new indexer_base app to them, set the restartSplukd to TRUE but have the Deployment Server send any updates out over a short period of time so that only one Indexer is not receiving while it goes thru the restart processing.

Not directly, but you might be able to simulate something by setting phoneHomeIntervalInSecs in the deploymentclient.conf to be different from one client to another. That way, you have clients checking in at dissimilar intervals, which might allow for more time while a restart is occurring.

That is an intriging idea. I currently use a deployment_client app for my forwarders but could setup different apps for my indexer, each with a slightly different interval. I will explore this as a possible solution. Thank you for the this.
