A Splunk deployment consists of multiple forwarders sending data to a cluster of indexers. Users access the system through a search head. Which statement accurately describes how a search for a specific event is fulfilled?

The forwarder stores the event and sends it to the search head when requested.

The search head retrieves the event directly from the forwarder that collected it.

The indexer sends the event to the search head without a search request.

The search head sends the search request to the indexers, which return matching events.

A Splunk administrator is troubleshooting a data ingestion issue. A forwarder is sending data to an indexer, but the data is not appearing in searches. The administrator has verified that the forwarder is running and the indexer is receiving data. What is the most likely cause of the missing data?

The forwarder is sending data to the search head

The search head is not connected to the indexer

The data is being indexed under a different index than the one being searched

The indexer is storing data but not indexing it

What is the primary role of the indexer in a Splunk deployment?

To collect data from remote sources

To manage configuration files for all Splunk components

To process, store, and index data for searching

To provide a user interface for running searches
