What is the purpose of specifying a client name in deploymentclient.conf?

To define the authentication credentials for the forwarder

To specify the indexer to which data is sent

To identify the forwarder on the deployment server for targeted app distribution

To set the hostname of the forwarder for data inputs

A deployment server has been running for months, and the administrator notices that some forwarders are not checking in with the deployment server as frequently as expected. The forwarders are still sending data to the indexer. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

The forwarders' outputs.conf is configured with a wrong indexer URI, causing them to send data to the wrong indexer.

The forwarders' client names are not unique, causing them to be grouped incorrectly.

The deployment server's apps are too large, causing the forwarders to take longer to download them.

The forwarders' phoneHomeIntervalInSecs setting is set too high in deploymentclient.conf.

A Splunk administrator has configured a universal forwarder to send data to two indexers. The administrator wants to distribute the data evenly between the two indexers. What should the administrator configure in outputs.conf?

Set the autoLBThreshold to a low value and list both indexers in the [tcpout] stanza.

Set the useACK to true and list both indexers in the [tcpout] stanza.

Create two separate [tcpout] stanzas, one for each indexer, and set the same input to send to both.

List both indexers in the [tcpout] stanza without any additional settings.

A Splunk administrator needs to configure a universal forwarder to send data from a local log file to an indexer. Which configuration file and stanza type is used to define the input for this data?

server.conf with a [general] stanza

inputs.conf with a [monitor://] stanza

props.conf with a [source] stanza

outputs.conf with a [tcpout] stanza

What is a client group in Splunk deployment management?

A collection of deployment servers that work together

A group of indexers that share the same data

A set of search heads that share configurations

A set of deployment clients that receive the same set of apps
