Hi All,

We are planning to build on separate Linux server for DMC and we have below components.

Search Head cluster - 2 search head cluster member 

Deployer/Cluster Master/License master - 1 server

Index cluster - 3 Indexer

Deployment Server - 1server

What are hardware requirement for DMC and configuration steps to monitor the rest of components(7 servers) in DMC.

Please share us the plan.

Thank You!

Just one addon to your arhitecture. Search head cluster should have at least 3 members. Otherwise it won't be able to elect the search head captain.

The hardware requirements for Splunk are at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.4/Capacity/Referencehardware#Dedicated_search_head (the MC is just a search head), although you could get away with a much smaller instance.

The steps for setting up a Monitoring Console are at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.4/DMC/Deploymentsetupsteps
