How are knowledge objects shared across search head cluster members?

They are manually copied to each member

They are stored on the captain and accessed remotely

They are replicated to all members via the cluster replication mechanism

They are stored in a shared database

What is the network requirement for search head cluster members to communicate with indexers?

Members must be in the same data center as the indexers

Members must use a load balancer to reach indexers

Members must have direct network access to the indexers on the management port

Members must be on the same subnet as the indexers

A Splunk administrator is setting up a search head cluster and wants to ensure that knowledge objects (saved searches, dashboards, etc.) are shared across all members. What is the correct way to achieve this?

Create knowledge objects on each member individually.

Store knowledge objects in a common database accessible by all members.

Use the deployer to push knowledge objects to all members.

Knowledge objects are automatically shared between members without any configuration.

Which of the following is a requirement for forwarders in a search head cluster environment?

Forwarders must be configured to send data to the search head cluster

Forwarders must use the same authentication as the cluster

Forwarders must be registered with the deployment server

Forwarders must be able to reach the indexers on port 9997
