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.
