Hi Splunkers

Can I use one single splunk instance as both the Deployer and Deployment server? If yes what are the pros and cons?

Hi @aruncp333,
yes it's possible and there aren't big problems because both Deployment Server and Deployer aren't mandatory for activity, they work for management.
Only one point of attention: if your Deployment Server manages more than 50 clients, Splunk requires a dedicated server because its load isn't compatible with other roles, even if a Deployer.
For more information see at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Updating/Planadeployment and https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/DistSearch/SHCsystemrequirements#Deployer_require...

Ciao.
Giuseppe

Yes. Pros: Less infrastructure. Cons: If the host goes down, you lose both. 🙂
