A company is deploying a search head cluster with five members. They want to use the deployer to manage apps and configuration. Which statement about the deployer's role is true?

The deployer distributes apps and configuration bundles to all members.

The deployer handles search request load balancing.

The deployer stores all search results for the cluster.

The deployer must be installed on one of the cluster members.

An admin is troubleshooting a failed bundle push. The deployer log shows an error about a missing app directory. What is the most likely cause?

The deployer does not have permission to read the repository.

To provide a load-balancing endpoint for external search requests

To distribute apps and configuration changes to all search head cluster members

To index incoming data and manage the indexer cluster's replication factor

To manage the replication of search artifacts and job state across cluster members

Which statement accurately describes how the deployer distributes configuration changes to search head cluster members?

It distributes configuration only to members that request it during a search

It requires each member to pull configuration changes from the deployer on a scheduled basis

It pushes apps and configuration bundles to all members simultaneously

It pushes changes only to the captain, which then replicates them to other members

An admin is preparing to push a new configuration bundle to a search head cluster. What should the admin do before running `splunk apply shcluster-bundle`?
