Hello,

Splunk server in linux and agent in windows.

1)How to check from client or server cofig files ?
2)I created the deploymentclient.conf file under c:\program file\splunk\etc\system\local.
and restarted spulnkd service. Any services need to be restarted along with this...?

Please reply me as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Swami....

From the deployment server, you can see which clients have connected:

./splunk list deploy-clients

On the deployment client, you can do

cd c:program files\splunk\bin
splunk display deploy-server

Some other questions (which may not be as relevant):

  • Are other deployment clients working? If no, then your problem might be on the deployment server, not the client...
  • Are you just setting up the deployment server? Try restarting it.
  • Have you reloaded the deployment server since you added new content? ./splunk reload deploy-server

Finally, I have found this search (or some variation) to be helpful
