A Splunk admin has a deployment app that needs to be deployed to forwarders in two different server classes. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Associate the same deployment app with both server classes.

Use the deployment server's CLI to push the app to both classes.

Create two copies of the deployment app, one for each server class.

Create a new server class that includes all forwarders from both classes and associate the app with that new class.

How do forwarders communicate with the deployment server to receive configuration updates?

By polling the deployment server periodically for updates

By sending data to the deployment server and receiving configuration in response

By receiving push notifications from the deployment server in real time

By using a shared file system to sync configuration files

How is a deployment app associated with a server class?

By placing the deployment app in a shared directory on each forwarder

By configuring the forwarder to download the app from a URL

By adding the deployment app to the server class in the deployment server configuration

By installing the app on the deployment server and it automatically applies to all forwarders

A company has a deployment server that is managing forwarders, but the admin wants to ensure that a specific forwarder does not receive any deployment apps. What is the best way to achieve this?

Add the forwarder to a server class with no deployment apps.

Do not include the forwarder in any server class.

Set the forwarder's deployment client to point to a non-existent server.

Use the deployment server's 'exclude' attribute to exclude the forwarder from all classes.

An organization has forwarders that collect Windows event logs and others that collect Linux syslog. The admin needs to deploy different configurations to each group. What is the most efficient way to achieve this using a deployment server?

Create separate deployment servers for each group of forwarders.

Create two server classes, one for Windows forwarders and one for Linux forwarders, and associate the appropriate deployment app with each.

Create two deployment apps and associate both with the same server class.

Create a single server class and use conditional forwarding in the deployment app to apply different configurations.
