A company has a deployment server that manages forwarders in multiple geographic regions. The admin needs to ensure that configuration changes are applied quickly, but the forwarders are on different schedules. What is the best way to ensure timely deployment?

Manually copy the configuration files to each forwarder.

Use the deployment server's 'reload' command to force forwarders to check in immediately.

Increase the deployment server's polling interval to check for changes more frequently.

Adjust the deployment client's phoneHomeInterval on the forwarders to a shorter interval.

A Splunk admin manages a deployment server with several server classes. They need to deploy a new configuration to all forwarders except those in a specific server class. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Create a new server class that includes all forwarders except the excluded ones, and associate the deployment app with that new class.

Use the 'exclude' attribute in the server class to exclude the specific forwarders.

Associate the deployment app with the default server class and then remove the excluded forwarders from that class.

Create a deployment app and use conditional logic in the app to skip the excluded forwarders.

What is a server class in Splunk deployment server terminology?

A collection of indexers that share the same configuration

A type of forwarder that has special privileges

A set of deployment apps that are installed on the deployment server

A group of forwarders that receive the same set of deployment apps

An organization has forwarders that need different configurations based on their operating system. The admin wants to use server classes to achieve this. What is the best way to define the server classes?

Create a server class for each OS and associate the same deployment app with both classes.

Create a single server class and use the 'os' attribute to differentiate configurations within the class.

Create separate server classes for each OS and use the 'machineTypes' or 'hosts' attributes to include the appropriate forwarders.

Use the forwarder's hostname to determine the OS and apply the configuration manually.

A company has a deployment server with multiple deployment apps. The admin needs to deploy a specific app to a subset of forwarders. What is the correct way to associate the app with the desired forwarders?

Use the deployment server's CLI to push the app to specific forwarders.

Add the forwarders' hostnames to the deployment app's configuration file.

Place the deployment app in the forwarders' local apps directory.

Create a server class that includes the desired forwarders and associate the deployment app with that server class.
