Configure a Splunk Deployment Manager

[qazwsxedc994]

So far I have an Fowarder feeding data into my Indexer where I have a search head setup to search the indexes. If i wanted to set up a Deployment Manager to look after my indexer and search head how would i go about configuring this setup?? Im so lost and confused right now.

It is straightforward. You just need to provide your "Splunk forwarder" file:

${SPLUNK_FWD_HOME}/etc/apps/deployclient/local/deploymentclient.conf

with below entry

[deployment-client]
[target-broker:deploymentServer]
targetUri = <DEPLOY_SERVER>

I've automated installation of Splunk Forwarder in Windows/Linux. Code can be found here
