Which of the following clarification steps should be taken if apps are not appearing on a deployment client? (Select all that apply.)
To troubleshoot if apps are not appearing on a deployment client, several steps can be taken. First, checking the serverclass.conf file on the deployment server is crucial as this file contains the definitions and mappings of deployment clients to server classes, which include the apps to be deployed. Second, examining the deploymentclient.conf on the deployment client helps to ensure that the client successfully communicates with the deployment server and is configured to receive updates. Finally, searching splunkd.log on the deployment server is also useful as it can contain error messages or warnings related to deployment issues, providing further insights into why the apps might not be appearing on the client. However, checking the content of SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps on the deployment server is not relevant here because the correct directory for the apps intended for deployment clients is SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps.
A,B,D - There is no link between the etc/apps folder and deployment apps on the deployment server.
You're right, apps are downloaded from "deployment-apps" folder, not from "apps". But checking events in splunkd.log is also worthless. I think answer is AB
D should be also correct. As per page 89 of Troubleshooting PDF we can see that there are useful error messages that you can see in splunkd.log.
I think this is the best answer. You can check serverclass.conf to verify that the client is associated with serverclass in which the app is in. You can also check deploymentclient.conf to make sure that the client is always receiving apps from the deployment server (by default should be so). Finally you can check splunkd.log for any errors or warnings with component DeploymentApplication (see Troubleshooting pdf pg 86)
Answer is abd
the apps in deployment server are in deployment-app, not in app
C is incorrect because the folder where the apps are located in the DEPLOYMENT SERVER is SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps
C is not correct because apps that are to be deployed will be in deployment-apps folder in deployment server and not apps folder
Answers A, B, D. Answer D Is included as per page 89 of the Troubleshooting PDF "Example: Deployment Error Messages".
splunkd.log very usefull https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-can-I-find-out-what-the-deployment-errors-are/m-p/325801
Nope. D is incorrect, because the log should be reviewed on the CLIENT, not the SERVER. This page shows messages like "*** INFO DC:DeploymentClient ***" "*** WARN DeployedApplication ***", etc...
Answers A, B and D
D doesn't look to be correct, because the log should be reviewed on the client, not the server. You can see if the client connects to the server successfully in the client's log, not the server's.
C is incorrect because apps deployed from the DS are located in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps
Answers A, B and D as "apps" folder contain application for the Deployment Server. The applications for the clients are in "deployment-apps" folder.
ABD is only logical answer
