A Splunk Cloud admin is troubleshooting a forwarder that is sending data, but the data is not appearing in searches. The forwarder's metrics show that it is sending data successfully. What is the most likely cause?

The forwarder's output queue is full.

The data is being sent to the wrong index.

The indexer is rejecting the data due to format issues.

The forwarder is sending data to a different Splunk Cloud stack.

A company has a forwarder that needs to send data to two different Splunk Cloud stacks (production and test). How should they configure the forwarder?

Use two separate forwarders, one for each stack.

Define multiple output groups in outputs.conf and assign inputs to each group.

Use a heavy forwarder to route data to both stacks.

Configure the forwarder to send all data to the production stack and then forward from there to test.

A company is migrating its on-premises Splunk Enterprise deployment to Splunk Cloud. They have 200 forwarders sending data to the on-premises indexers. The migration team wants to minimize changes to the forwarders while ensuring data continues to flow to the new cloud deployment. What should they do?

Install a heavy forwarder in the cloud and configure it to forward data to Splunk Cloud.

Update the outputs.conf on each forwarder to point to the Splunk Cloud indexer endpoints.

Reinstall all forwarders with the Splunk Cloud universal forwarder package.

Use the Splunk Web interface on each forwarder to change the indexer destination.
