A Splunk administrator needs to deploy a new app to a subset of indexers in a cluster. The app should only be installed on indexers that handle a specific data source. How should the administrator configure the deployment server?

Use the cluster master to replicate the app to the specific indexers.

Manually install the app on each indexer.

Create a server class that includes the specific indexers and associate the app with that server class.

Place the app in the `default` directory on the deployment server and it will automatically deploy to all nodes.

A company has a Splunk indexer cluster with multiple search heads. They want to ensure that searches are distributed evenly across all peer nodes. What is the primary mechanism that enables this?

The deployment server configures peers to share search load.

The license master balances search load across peers.

The cluster master assigns search jobs to specific peers.

Each search head independently sends search requests to all peers in the cluster.

A Splunk environment has multiple indexers and a license master. An administrator wants to add a new indexer to the environment. What must be done to ensure the new indexer is compliant with the license?

Install a license file on the new indexer.

Add the new indexer to the cluster master's peer list.

Configure the new indexer to use the license master by specifying the license master's host in its `server.conf` file.

Restart the license master to detect the new indexer.
