What is the purpose of the deploymentclient.conf file on a Splunk instance?

To configure data inputs for the instance

To define server classes and app associations

To specify the deployment server URI and client settings

To set up authentication and authorization

A consultant is configuring a deployment client that needs to receive configurations from two different deployment servers. The consultant wants to ensure the client can receive apps from both servers. What should the consultant do?

Configure two [target] stanzas in deploymentclient.conf, one for each deployment server.

Configure a single [target] stanza with both server URIs separated by a comma.

Create a separate deploymentclient.conf file for each server.

Use the 'serverclass' attribute in deploymentclient.conf to specify both servers.

A deployment client has been configured to connect to a deployment server, but the client is not receiving any apps. The consultant checks the deployment server's logs and sees no connection attempts from the client. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

The serverclass.conf on the deployment server has a typo in the class name.

The client's deploymentclient.conf has the wrong 'targetUri'.

The app bundle is not in the deployment server's apps directory.

The client's phonehome interval is set too high.

A company has a deployment server at 10.10.10.10:8089. A new forwarder has been installed and needs to connect to this deployment server. The forwarder's deploymentclient.conf currently has no [target] stanza. The consultant needs to configure the forwarder to receive configurations from the deployment server. What should the consultant add to deploymentclient.conf?

A [serverclass] stanza with 'targetUri = 10.10.10.10:8089'.

A [client] stanza with 'server = 10.10.10.10:8089'.

A [deployment-server] stanza with 'server = 10.10.10.10:8089'.

A [target] stanza with 'targetUri = 10.10.10.10:8089'.

What is the primary role of a Splunk deployment server?

To authenticate users and manage roles and permissions

To provide a web interface for searching and visualizing data

To distribute configuration updates and apps to deployment clients
