[Splunk Add-on Builder] How to sync account credential configuration in a search head cluster?

Pastea

Hi,

Is there a way to sync the account configuration created by Splunk Add-on Builder in a Search Head Cluster?

It uses a custom conf <app_name>_account.conf where it save account and username, in passwords.conf it save only account and password. Since the <app_name>_account.conf is not synced among the cluster's members, every new account is added using the interface it is not replicated, and then it is unusable.

What configuration am I missing? Is the only way to edit the replication to whitelist and add the file?

Thanks,
Andrea

Old post but I just noticed the addon builder doesn't support config or account changes in a search head cluster environment too.

Did you ever find a solution?

I'm sure I've hand crafted addons that were capable of having config changes replicated across the cluster.
