An admin is configuring a deployer for a search head cluster. They have set `deployer = true` in server.conf and created the repository path. What else is required for the deployer to function?

Add the deployer to the cluster as a member.

Restart Splunk on the deployer.

Set `shclustering = true` on the deployer.

Configure the deployer's management port.

After placing an app in the deployer's repository, what must be done to distribute it to search head cluster members?

Run the splunk apply shcluster-bundle command on the deployer

Copy the app manually to each member's apps directory

Restart each cluster member individually

Wait for the next scheduled replication cycle

An admin has made changes to an app in the deployer's repository and wants to push the changes to the search head cluster. Which command should they run on the deployer?

`splunk deploy shcluster-bundle -target https:// :8089`

`splunk sync shcluster-bundle -target https:// :8089`

`splunk push shcluster-bundle -target https:// :8089`

`splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target https:// :8089`

A search head cluster has three members. An admin has placed a new app in the deployer's repository and pushed it. How can the admin verify that the app was successfully deployed to all members?

Check the member's `splunkd.log` for 'app installed' messages.

Check the deployer's `deployer.log` for errors and run `splunk show shcluster-status` on the deployer.

Check the `_internal` index on each member for messages about app installation.

Run `splunk list apps` on the deployer to see if the app appears.

A search head cluster has a mix of apps that are managed by the deployer and apps that are installed locally on each member. The admin wants to ensure that a specific app is managed by the deployer. What should the admin do?

Change the app's permissions to allow the deployer to manage it.

Remove the app from all members and place it in the deployer's repository.

Keep the app on the members and also place it in the deployer's repository.

Use the deployer to push the app, but keep the local version as a backup.
