How to deploy the add-ons into the universal forwarders
To install the add-ons into the universal forwarders, you must place the add-on folders into %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\apps
on each forwarder. You can do this manually with operating system tools, or with a Splunk deployment server.
- If you have a deployment server and want to use it to deploy the app, then:
- 1. Copy the add-on folders from the Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange installation package into
%SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\deployment-apps
on the deployment server.
- 2. Configure server classes on the deployment server to deploy the add-on(s) to the correct server(s).
- If you do not have a deployment server, or do not want to use one to deploy the app, then you must:
- 1. Review the tables above to determine which servers the add-ons should go on.
- 2. Manually copy the add-on(s) from the Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange installation package to
%SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\apps
on every Exchange, Windows, and/or Active Directory server from which you want to get Exchange and Windows logs.
Prepare and configure the add-ons | Make configuration changes to match your existing environment |
This documentation applies to the following versions of Splunk® App for Microsoft Exchange (EOL): 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3
