Distributed deployment

Use the following tables to install the Splunk Add-on for Juniper in a deployment that uses forwarders to get data in, such as a distributed deployment. Note that you might need to install the add-on in multiple places.

Where to install this add-on

Unless otherwise noted, all supported add-ons can be safely installed to all tiers of a distributed Splunk platform deployment. See Where to install Splunk add-ons in Splunk Add-ons for more information.

This table provides a reference for installing this specific add-on to a distributed deployment of the Splunk platform:

Splunk platform instance type Supported Required Actions required / Comments
Search Heads Yes Yes Install this add-on to all search heads where Juniper knowledge management is required.

As a best practice, turn add-on visibility off on your search heads. This prevents data duplication errors that can result from running inputs on your search heads rather than your data collection node.

Indexers Yes Conditional Not required if you use heavy forwarders to collect data. Required if you use universal forwarders to collect data.
Heavy Forwarders Yes No This add-on supports forwarders of any type for data collection.
Universal Forwarders Yes No This add-on supports forwarders of any type for data collection.
