How to enable deployment server functionality on a universal forwarder?

Hi,

Could anyone please tell me that what is needed on the universal forwarder side to enable deployment server functionality, and how can we configure new input with deployment server?

Thanks in Advance

Hi sunnyparmar, I don't expect that the universal forwarder can be setup as a deployment server. Even if it could, you don't have access to the web interface, which is quite helpful for managing the systems.

However, if you'd like to setup the universal forwarder as a deployment client, you need to configure deploymentclient.conf, pointing the forwarder at an existing and reachable deployment server.

On the deployment server side, you set the client up in a serverclass, and then associate an app with that serverclass. This app can contain any sort of configuration, including inputs.conf.

Please let me know if this helps!
