Topic #: 10

A configuration file in a deployed app needs to be directly edited. Which steps would ensure a successful deployment to clients?

AMake the change in $SPLUNK HOME/etc/dep10yment apps/$appName/10ca1/ on the deployment server, and the change will be automatically sent to the deployment clients.

BMake the change in $SPLUNK HOME /etc/apps/$appname/local/ on any of the deployment clients, and then run the command . / splunk reload deploy-server to push that change to the deployment server.

CMake the change in $SPLUNK HOME/etc/dep10yment apps/$appName/10ca1/ on the deployment server, and then run $SPLUNK HOME/bin/sp1unk reload deploy---server.

DMake the change in $SPLUNK HOME/etc/apps/$appName/defau1t on the deployment server, and it will be distributed down to the clients' own local versions.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

According to the Splunk documentation1, to customize a configuration file, you need to create a new file with the same name in a local or app directory. Then, add the specific settings that you want to customize to the local configuration file. Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory. The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original location. The Splunk Enterprise upgrade process overwrites the default directory.

To deploy configuration files to deployment clients, you need to use the deployment server.The deployment server is a Splunk Enterprise instance that distributes content and updates to deployment clients2.The deployment server uses a directory called $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps to store the apps and configuration files that it deploys to clients2.To update the configuration files in this directory, you need to edit them manually and then run the command $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/sp1unk reload deploy---server to make the changes take effect2.

Therefore, option A is incorrect because it does not include the reload command. Option B is incorrect because it makes the change on a deployment client instead of the deployment server. Option D is incorrect because it changes the default directory instead of the local directory.

That's a good point, Denae. Option C does seem like a logical choice for ensuring a successful deployment.

I'm just glad this isn't a question about configuring a coffee machine. That would really throw me for a loop!

Option C seems like the way to go, but I'm also kind of tempted by option B. Guess I'll have to weigh the pros and cons.

I'm not sure, but I think option C might be the right one because it involves reloading the deploy server after making the change.

I disagree, I believe option D is the correct one as it distributes the change down to the clients' local versions.

I think option C might be a safer bet. Running the command to reload the deploy server could ensure the change is properly distributed.

Option B sounds like a good choice. It seems like the change can be pushed to the deployment server easily.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I think option C might be the way to go, but I'd better double-check the documentation just to be sure.
