Looking for a good guide to deploying the Nix app to all of my Universal Forwarders. Have around 50 forwarders set up, but would like to start collecting Nix performance & process info on each and forward back to my indexers. Looking for some clear direction on how to do this. Do I just copy the *Nix App folder out to all of them? How does this work? |

tadreeves, I would recommend setting up a Splunk Deployment Server (typically done on search head) to push out a single Nix app, or modified versions of the Nix app if you want to collect different metrics from different systems. This single point of management for pushing applications to your forwarders will make it extremely easy to configure data inputs. See also: About Deployment Server That's exactly what I'm looking to do. Documentation is sparse, though, on how to push out an App. Do I just copy the entire ./etc/apps/unix dir into ./etc/deployment-apps/unix? Does it all need to go into some new index - like servers-os or similar? I'm running 4.2 with universal forwarders deployed as deployment clients.
