I'm developing an app that will run on in an distributed environment in production, with a search head, an indexer and a forwarder.
Obviously this means that the settings in my *.conf files are split between the three roles.
In development, however, it doesn't make sense for me to have this setup as I have only a single system - I'm simply using a forwarder and an indexer.
The app is changing rapidly, and I'm trying to figure out a way to make changes easily and deploy them to dev without having to go back and change them when it's time to push releases to production.
As far as I can tell, these are my options:
- write a shell script to concatenate the files for the search head and indexer before pushing them to production
- Use a single unified file for
props.conf, transforms.conf, etc. across the indexer and search head (this makes the setup less clear/maintainable in my view)
- Putting one of the files in
default/ rather than local/ in the app directory on dev. It seems like this would work, but I'm not sure what consequences it could have, and it could lead to conflicts if I make a mistake.
Is there another way around this?
