In a Splunk deployment, what is the primary purpose of a deployment server?

To distribute apps and configuration updates to deployment clients

To provide a web interface for searching and analyzing indexed data

To store and index data for long-term retention

To forward log data from forwarders to indexers

How does a deployment server determine which apps to send to a particular deployment client?

By the client's IP address and hostname

By the client's operating system and architecture

By the client's configured indexer list

By the server class(es) to which the client belongs

Where can an administrator view information about deployment activity, such as which clients have recently checked in and what apps they received?

The Deployment Server page in Splunk Web

A deployment server manages 1,000 clients. The administrator needs to deploy a critical configuration update to all clients, but the update must be rolled out gradually to avoid overwhelming the network. The administrator also wants to be able to roll back the update quickly if issues arise. What is the best approach?

Create multiple server classes, each with a subset of clients, and associate the update with each class sequentially.

Deploy the update to all clients at once and rely on the phonehome interval to stagger the load.

Use a deployment client override to push the update to a few clients first, then expand.

Deploy the update to all clients and use the deployment server's monitoring dashboard to track progress.
