Reload agent management periodically

Improve performance by periodically reloading agent management when response times become unacceptable.

Performance issues in agent management can cause slow responses from the deployment/server/clients endpoint. The following symptoms indicate a performance issue:
  • The response from the endpoint deployment/server/clients takes more than 30 seconds.
  • The Agent Management home page takes more than 30 seconds to load.
  • Searching by host name or app takes more than 30 seconds to complete.
  • The list of matched agents for server class takes more than 30 seconds to load.
Reload agent management when the performance becomes unacceptable.

Over time, agent management can slow down. To keep it running smoothly, reload agent management periodically. Each time you reload agent management, the performance improves.

To reload agent management, run the following command on the agent management machine:

splunk reload deploy-server
Note: You can achieve similar results by restarting the entire Splunk platform instance with the splunk restart command. This command restarts all other Splunk platform subsystems, which is not recommended.
