How can a forwarder be assigned to a server class?

By manually copying configuration files to each forwarder

By configuring the forwarder to send data to a specific indexer

By matching the forwarder's hostname, IP address, or other criteria defined in the server class

By installing a specific app on the forwarder

A Splunk admin is managing a large number of forwarders and needs to ensure that configuration changes are applied consistently across all of them. What is the primary benefit of using a deployment server for this task?

It eliminates the need for any manual configuration on forwarders.

It allows for centralized management and distribution of configuration changes to forwarders.

It provides real-time configuration updates to forwarders as soon as changes are made.

It automatically restarts forwarders after applying configuration changes.

What happens when a forwarder receives a configuration update from the deployment server?

It applies the update and may restart to activate the new configuration

It forwards the update to the indexer for processing

It stores the update and applies it only after a manual restart

It sends an acknowledgment to the deployment server and waits for further instructions
