A Splunk admin is configuring a deployer and wants to ensure that only specific apps are distributed to the search head cluster. The admin has placed the apps in the correct directory. What else must be done to ensure the apps are actually distributed?

Restart the deployer to trigger distribution.

Wait for the next scheduled push, which happens automatically.

Run the deployer push command to distribute the apps to all members.

Copy the apps to each search head manually.

In a Splunk search head cluster, what is the primary role of the deployer?

To serve as the primary search head that handles all user search requests

To store and index all data for the search head cluster

To distribute apps and configuration bundles to all search head cluster members

To manage the replication of search artifacts and configurations across cluster members

A Splunk admin notices that a search head cluster member has a locally modified configuration file that differs from the deployer's version. What is the recommended action to resolve this drift?

Copy the local modification to the deployer and push it to all members.

Remove the member from the cluster and re-add it.

Leave the local modification as is, as it may be intentional.

Restore the file on the member to match the deployer's version and push again.

Which directory on the deployer is used to stage apps and configuration for a search head cluster?

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps
