During various Splunk projects, I found some customers were not using DMC, as it was not part of the deployment architecture, so I put together a number of health check searches, which then led to this simple app.
Therefore, it is useful for such situations, and not intended to take place over the DMC, which is the preferred health checker.
You can deploy the DMC on Master Nodes for Cluster deployment scenarios
You can deploy the DMC on non-clustered scenario’s, on a SH, Licence Master, Deployment Server <= 50 nodes.
My App is normally deployed onto a SH
