What is the primary mechanism by which a deployment server distributes apps to forwarders?

The forwarder downloads apps from a shared network drive

The forwarder periodically polls the deployment server for updates

The administrator manually copies apps to each forwarder

The deployment server pushes apps to forwarders via SSH

What happens when you modify a deployment app on the deployment server?

The deployment server immediately pushes the update to all forwarders

The update is applied only after the forwarder is rebooted

Forwarders receive the updated app on their next polling cycle

Forwarders must be manually restarted to receive the update

A forwarder is currently receiving a deployment app that contains a custom bin script. The admin needs to update the script. What is the correct procedure to ensure the forwarder receives the updated script?

Increment the app version in the app's app.conf file.

Replace the script file in the app's bin directory on the deployment server and wait for the forwarder to check in.

Delete the app from the server class, wait for the forwarder to remove it, then re-add it.

Restart the deployment server to force the update to be pushed immediately.

What is the first step when creating a deployment app for forwarders?

Create a directory in the deployment-apps folder and add configuration files

Compile the configuration files into a .spl file

Assign the app to a server class in the deployment server UI

Restart the forwarder to apply the new app
