   A company has 200 Windows universal forwarders that need a custom inputs.conf to collect a specific log file. The forwarders are already managed by a deployment server. The admin creates a directory named 'win_logs' under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps on the deployment server and places the inputs.conf inside the 'default' subdirectory. What else must the admin do to ensure the forwarders receive this configuration?

   • ARestart the deployment server so it scans the deployment-apps directory and pushes the app automatically.
   • BPlace the inputs.conf in the 'local' directory instead of 'default' so forwarders can override existing settings.
   • CRename the directory to 'inputs' so the deployment server recognizes it as a configuration app.
   • DCreate a server class that includes the 'win_logs' app and assign the forwarders to that server class.

   An admin is troubleshooting a deployment issue. A forwarder is receiving an app, but the app's configuration is not taking effect. The admin checks the forwarder and finds the app in the 'apps' directory, but the configuration file is in the 'local' directory instead of the 'default' directory. What is the most likely explanation?

   • AThe deployment server is configured to place files in the 'local' directory.
   • BThe admin previously created a local override on the forwarder, and the deployment app is not overwriting it.
   • CThe app was manually installed on the forwarder before the deployment.
   • DThe forwarder's deployment client is misconfigured.
