What is the purpose of versioning in deployment apps?

To assign different apps to different server classes

To encrypt the app content during transmission

To prevent forwarders from ever updating their configuration

To track changes and ensure forwarders download the latest version

Which command or UI view can an administrator use to verify that a forwarder has successfully received a deployment app?

The Deployment > Clients page in the deployment server UI

The forwarder's outputs.conf file

The forwarder's inputs.conf file

A company has a mix of Windows and Linux forwarders. The admin needs to deploy an app that contains a PowerShell script for Windows forwarders and a Bash script for Linux forwarders. What is the most efficient way to handle this using deployment apps?

Create two separate deployment apps, one for Windows and one for Linux, each with its own script and server class.

Use the deployment server's 'machine type' filter to send the app to all forwarders.

Create one deployment app with both scripts and use a conditional in the app to run the correct one.

Create one deployment app with both scripts and assign it to a single server class.

What is the role of a server class in deployment app configuration?

It stores the credentials used to authenticate forwarders to the deployment server

It determines the order in which deployment apps are applied to a forwarder

It defines a group of forwarders that receive the same set of deployment apps

It specifies the indexer to which forwarders send data

Which setting in a deployment app's configuration controls whether the app is enabled on the forwarder?

enabled = true in the app's inputs.conf

status = on in the app's outputs.conf

active = yes in the deployment server's serverclass.conf

state = enabled in the app's app.conf
