Configuration changes after initial deployment

Any time you wish to make a configuration change in the future, you simply edit or add the appropriate file in the proper server class directory.


You must inform the deployment server of the change via its Splunk CLI. To use Splunk's CLI, navigate to the $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/ directory and use the ./splunk command. You can also add Splunk to your path and use the splunk command.


./splunk reload deploy-server

This command will check all server classes for a change, and notify clients.


-or-


./splunk reload deploy-server -class serverclass

This command will check and update only the specified server class.


For example:


./splunk reload deploy-server -class www

This command will notify only www server-class clients. All clients that are members of the www server class will pick up the configuration change.
