How to disable deployment server temporarily ?

After disable the DS temporarily, will the apps be deleted from client ?

will there be any issues with the functionality  after enabling the DS ? and can we again push the apps normally after re-enabling the DS ?

If your DS is an additional role on some other server then you must use 

 

splunk disable deploy-server

 

or update serverclass.conf  with disabled=true on global  stanza. 

And then you must restart splunk instance.

To disable the DS temporarily, issue the splunk stop command to the DS.  Run splunk start to restart the DS.  While the DS is down, apps on clients will be unaffected, however, the clients will log messages about being unable to connect to the DS.  Once the DS is restarted it will resume normal functionality.

Hi,

if you are sharing multiple roles on one instance you can also disable DS by setting

serverclass.conf

 

[default]
disabled = 1

we currently enable DS for a short time frame to mitigate the issue.

Andreas
