Deployment & Upgrades¶
Deployment matrix¶
Splunk roles |
required |
---|---|
Search head |
yes |
Indexer tiers |
no |
If Splunk search heads are running in Search Head Cluster (SHC), the Splunk application must be deployed by the SHC deployer.
Dependencies¶
There are currently no dependencies for the application.
Initial deployment¶
The deployment of the Splunk application is very straight forward:
Using the application manager in Splunk Web (Settings / Manages apps)
Extracting the content of the tgz archive in the “apps” directory of Splunk
For SHC configurations (Search Head Cluster), extract the tgz content in the SHC deployer and publish the SHC bundle
Upgrades¶
Upgrading the Splunk application is pretty much the same operation than the initial deployment.
