I successfully installed splunk using the ansible-role-for-splunk one a single machine. It worked as expected. I am trying now to deploy a distributed splunk system (7 VMs in total). I prepared the inventory based on https://github.com/splunk/ansible-role-for-splunk/blob/master/environments/production/inventory.yml. when i ran the playbook, the bahviour is 7 individual installations of splunk instead of a distributed installation with indexer cluster, search head etc. My understanding was that based on the group name in the inventory, ansible role will install only the required components. Is it not true?
I am posting my playbook and inventory file (as first 2 replies). thanks
