agent manager

agent manager

noun

A Splunk Enterprise instance that acts as a centralized configuration manager, grouping together and collectively managing any number of Splunk Enterprise instances. Instances that are remotely configured by deployment servers are called deployment clients. The agent manager downloads updated content, such as configuration files and apps, to deployment clients. Units of such content are known as deployment apps.

The agent management interface offers an easy way to configure the agent manager.

The name has changed from "deployment server" to "agent manager" in version 10.0.0 of Splunk Enterprise. The functionality remains unchanged.
