Will Add-on Input configuration reflect in both SH's in Victoria?

[splunkpri]

Hi Team,

We have SPlunk Cloud Victoria, We have 2 SH's (Core SH & ES SH) We have installed MS Cloud Service Add-on on Core SH and it is automatically reflecting on ES SH but we have configured input in this Add-on on Core SH but it is not reflecting on ES SH.

1. So Input(MSCS-Addon) configuration also reflecting in both SH's if we configured only on one SH's?

2. If not then we configured input(MSCS-Addon) on both SH's is it possible to get duplicate data?

Any reference link is there?

I expected inputs to be documented among other features needing configuration at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/9.0.2209/Admin/PrivateApps#How_self-service_app_in... , but don't see it.

It's a known "feature" of Victoria that uploaded apps are automatically installed on all search heads. It's then up to the user to enable or disable inputs on each search head such that only one of them is enabled. This will avoid duplicate data.

Thank you Richgalloway.

so it’s means input will not automatically replicated in both SH’s if we configured in only one SH’s? only installation will replicate right?

And if we enabled input on both SH’s so there are chances of duplication of data right?

Correct on all counts.
