Key manuals for a distributed deployment
All Splunk Enterprise features are available in a distributed deployment, so all Splunk Enterprise manuals are important to realizing the full potential of your deployment. However, there is a small subset of manuals of particular importance when you are setting up and configuring the deployment. These manuals are mostly organized by component type:
- Installation Manual. Describes how to install a Splunk Enterprise instance.
- Forwarding Data. Describes how to install, deploy, and configure any type of forwarder.
- Managing Indexers and Clusters of Indexers. Describes how to configure indexers and how to deploy and configure indexer clusters.
- Distributed Search. Describes distributed search: Setting up search heads, connecting indexers to the search heads, and deploying and configuring search head clusters.
- Getting Data In. Provides guidance for configuring the range of data inputs.* Admin Manual. Covers a wide range of administration-related activity. The chapters on the license master are of particular importance when setting up your deployment.
- Distributed Management Console Manual. Covers the set up of the distributed management console, and how to use the console to monitor your deployment.
- Updating Splunk Enterprise Instances. Describes how to use the deployment server to update the components in the deployment.
