Automatically deploy a local app to search head

[las]

Hi.

I have a developer, that works on a local app and maintains the source in Azure Dev/Ops.

He is, of course, interested in automating the complete deployment process to our on-prem search head.

Has anyone tried this setup, and found some good practises?

For some reason I'm not comfortable with having a dev/Ops agent running on the search head, where it potentially could have access to the filesystem etc.

Any advise is greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Hi

this is doable and quite many enterprise / persons are already using it. Here is some links to examples / presentations how it can/should do:

• https://conf.splunk.com/files/2020/slides/DEV1123B.pdf
• https://conf.splunk.com/files/2021/slides/DEV1147C.pdf
• https://conf.splunk.com/files/2020/slides/DEV1332C.pdf
• https://hurricanelabs.com/splunk-tutorials/how-to-build-continuous-integration-into-your-splunk-app-...

I think that you could found quite easily more examples if/when needed. Of course to take this into use will need some work and especially defined process in your company how this must do.
