A Splunk admin has a server class that includes forwarders based on machineTypes. The admin needs to temporarily deploy a test app to a single forwarder in that class without affecting the others. What is the best way to do this?

Manually copy the test app to the forwarder's local apps directory.

Create a temporary server class that includes only that forwarder and associate the test app with it.

Add the test app to the existing server class and then remove it after testing.

Use the deployment server's CLI to push the test app to the forwarder.

A Splunk admin has a deployment server with a server class that includes forwarders based on machineTypes. The admin needs to add a new forwarder to this class, but the forwarder's machine type is not in the list. What is the best way to include this forwarder?

Change the forwarder's machine type to match the server class.

Create a new server class for this forwarder and associate the same app.

Use the deployment server's CLI to force-add the forwarder to the class.
