Which forwarder option ensures that an indexer has successfully received and indexed data, and allows the forwarder to re-send data if acknowledgment is not received?

Forwarder-to-forwarder communication

A Splunk administrator has a deployment server with multiple client groups. A forwarder is currently in the 'web' group and receives the 'web_app' deployment app. The administrator wants the forwarder to also receive the 'db_app' app, which is assigned to the 'db' group. What should the administrator do?

Add the 'db_app' app to the 'web' client group as well.

Edit the forwarder's local apps directory to manually add the 'db_app' configuration.

Change the forwarder's client name to 'db' so it receives the 'db_app' app.

Create a new client group that includes both 'web' and 'db' and assign both apps to it.

What is a deployment app in the context of Splunk deployment management?

A script that automatically installs Splunk on new servers

A Splunk app that provides a user interface for searching data

A tool for monitoring forwarder performance

A collection of configurations and files that are distributed to deployment clients

How does a deployment server determine which client group a forwarder belongs to?

By querying the forwarder's operating system type

By matching the client name to a regular expression defined in serverclass.conf

By reading the forwarder's IP address from inputs.conf

By checking the forwarder's hostname in outputs.conf
