Splunk Servers Missing on Deployment Servers

Hi all,

I have an issue here. I was trying to install apps through the deployment server and I noticed that the search head, cluster masters and indexers are missing on the deployment server forwarder management. The only server that's showing up is our heavy forwarder, I think they disappeared after the upgrade from 8.2.0 to 8.2.4. The heavy forwarder still has version 8.2.0 at the moment. I did a back-up before upgrading and tried to restore but it didn't work. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you

Never ever use deployment server to manage clustered indexer peers or SHC members! You should manage those via manager node (IDX peers) and deployer (SHC members).

if you have individual sh or IDX peers, then you could use DS for those.

Have you already looks from internal logs if there are any hints for this issue?
