   A company is deploying Splunk Enterprise and has a requirement to ingest data from a legacy system that only outputs data in a proprietary format. The team has identified a custom app that can parse this format. According to the deployment process, when should the team install and test this custom app?

   • ADuring the architecture planning phase, as part of the design document.
   • BDuring the validation phase, after the core environment is installed and configured.
   • CDuring the production rollout, after all other data sources are live.
   • DDuring the requirements-gathering phase, before any installation begins.

   A healthcare organization is planning a Splunk Enterprise deployment to ingest data from 500 endpoints, 50 servers, and 10 business applications. The compliance team requires that all patient data remain within the organization's on-premises data center. The IT team has limited experience with Splunk and wants a phased rollout that minimizes risk. Which approach should the deployment plan recommend?

   • ADeploy a single all-in-one instance in the data center, ingest all data sources, and enable all apps and add-ons at once.
   • BDeploy a full distributed environment with multiple indexers, search heads, and forwarders on day one to handle all data sources immediately.
   • CStart with a small pilot of indexers and search heads, ingest only endpoint data first, validate the setup, then gradually add more data sources and components.
   • DUse Splunk Cloud and configure a private connectivity option to keep data within the organization's network boundary.

   A large organization is planning a Splunk deployment with multiple business units. Each business unit has its own data sources and use cases. The IT team wants to centralize the infrastructure to reduce costs, but the business units want to maintain control over their data and searches. Which deployment plan approach best balances these competing needs?

   • AA centralized Splunk infrastructure with role-based access control and separate indexes for each business unit.
   • BA completely decentralized deployment with each business unit running its own Splunk environment.
   • CA centralized infrastructure with a single index for all data and no role-based access.
   • DA centralized infrastructure with no access controls, allowing all users to see all data.

   • ADevelop a training program for all users who will interact with Splunk.
   • BInstall Splunk Enterprise on all planned servers and configure the environment.
   • CBegin ingesting data from all identified sources to test the environment.
   • DCreate a detailed architecture and sizing plan that specifies the number of indexers, search heads, and forwarders needed.
