A customer has downloaded the Splunk App for AWS from Splunkbase and installed it in a search head cluster following the instructions using the deployer. A power user modifies a dashboard in the app on one of the search head cluster members. The app containing an updated dashboard is upgraded to the latest version by following the instructions via the deployer.
What happens?
When a user modifies a dashboard, the modified version is saved in the 'local' directory, which takes precedence over the 'default' directory where the application updates are stored. Therefore, when the app is upgraded, the updated dashboard will not override the user's modifications, and the user will continue to see their modified version.
i assume D is correct answer. as deployer does not override user/UI modifications
Definitely D. When a user have a role that can modify a dashboard, if he do it, the original xml file is untouched and stay in "default" folder but the new one is in "local" folder and take precedence over the one in "default". When the app is updated, the original file is updated BUT the file in local is untouched and still have precedence (tested right now on a dev platform).
the correct answer is C https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.6/DistSearch/PropagateSHCconfigurationchanges#:~:text=The%20deployer%20is%20a%20Splunk,is%20called%20the%20configuration%20bundle. App upgrades and runtime changes Because of how configuration file precedence works, changes that users make to apps at runtime get maintained in the apps through subsequent upgrades. Say, for example, that you deploy the 1.0 version of some app, and then a user modifies the app's dashboards. When you later deploy the 1.1 version of the app, the user modifications will persist in the 1.1 version of the app.
yes but in that case it is available for every one, not only for power users
D is the correct one. The local copy on the search head cluster will win.
D, the deployer update default folder,
This is a prime example of reading every word of the question. The "updated" version of the dashboard is referring to the one in the Application update. The one that the power user modified (their) is the one that they will see. The correct answer is "D".
