A deployment app has been updated, and the new version includes changes to the default folder. The consultant wants to ensure that any local customizations made on the forwarders are not overwritten. What should the consultant verify?

That the default folder on the forwarders is empty.

That the app.conf file is in the local folder.

That the deployment server has the latest version of the app.

That the local folder on the forwarders does not contain conflicting files.

Which deployment method is best suited for deploying an app to a large number of forwarders automatically?

Manual installation on each forwarder

Using a package manager like apt

A Splunk environment has forwarders that are behind a firewall and cannot reach the deployment server directly. The consultant needs to deploy a new app to these forwarders. What is the best approach?

Place the app on a web server and have the forwarders download it.

Use a deployment server that is reachable from the forwarders, such as one in the same network segment.

Manually install the app on each forwarder.

Use a forwarder to forward the app to other forwarders.
