Configure repository mode in agent management cluster

When more than one agent management server serves agent management traffic, configure the repository mode consistently on every agent management server that handles UI or API traffic.

Configure all active agent management servers that serve agent management traffic to use the same repository mode, the same saved-search pipeline state, and, when configured, the same [repository_database] settings. Mixed repository modes cause behavior to depend on which agent management server receives the UI or API request.

Note: This topic covers only agent management repository-mode configuration. Set up and operate the agent management cluster itself according to the applicable agent management documentation for your environment.
  1. Set the same repository_type in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/agent_management.conf on each active agent management server.
  2. Apply the same saved-search pipeline state in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SplunkDeploymentServerConfig/local/savedsearches.conf on each active agent management server.
  3. If you configured [repository_database] settings, apply the same values on each active agent management server.
  4. Restart each Splunk instance to apply the configuration changes.
  5. Verify the configuration before you send agent management traffic to the agent management server.

All active agent management servers now use the same repository mode and settings, ensuring consistent behavior regardless of which server handles a UI or API request.
