Forwarders & Deployment • Room 2

Deployment Server

The Deployment Server centrally manages thousands of forwarders. `serverclass.conf` defines Server Classes that map apps to groups of clients filtered by hostname, IP, or machine type.

Forwarders "phone home" at a configurable interval (default: 30 minutes) to check for new apps or configuration updates from the Deployment Server.
