Which of the following describes a Splunk deployment server?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C. On Deployment Server, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps.

A deployment server is a Splunk Enterprise instance that acts as a centralized configuration manager for any number of other instances, called ''deployment clients''. A deployment client can be a universal forwarder, a non-clustered indexer, or a search head1.

A deployment app is a directory that contains any content that you want to download to a set of deployment clients. The content can include a Splunk Enterprise app, a set of Splunk Enterprise configurations, or other content, such as scripts, images, and supporting files2.

You create a deployment app by creating a directory for it on the deployment server. The default location is $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps, but this is configurable through the repositoryLocation attribute in serverclass.conf. Underneath this location, each app must have its own subdirectory. The name of the subdirectory serves as the app name in the forwarder management interface2.

The other options are incorrect because:

A) On Universal Forwarder, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps. This is the location where the deployment app resides after it is downloaded from the deployment server to the universal forwarder. It is not the location of the app before it is deployed2.

B) On Deployment Server, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps. This is the location where the apps that are specific to the deployment server itself reside. It is not the location where the deployment apps for the clients are stored2.

D) On Universal Forwarder, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps. This is not a valid location for any app on a universal forwarder. The universal forwarder does not act as a deployment server and does not store deployment apps3.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option A about a Splunk Forwarder deploying data to multiple indexers seems like a reasonable answer too. But I'll go with Option D since it's the most specific to deployment automation.

I think Option C is the right choice. A Splunk Enterprise server that distributes apps seems like the most accurate description of a deployment server.

Option D sounds like the correct answer to me. A deployment server is responsible for automating the deployment of Splunk Enterprise to remote servers, making it easy to manage and scale the Splunk environment.

I'm not sure, but I think C could also be a valid option. Distributing apps sounds like a role of a deployment server.

I disagree, I believe the answer is A. It mentions deploying data to multiple indexers, which is a key function of a deployment server.

I think the answer is D, because it mentions deployment of Splunk Enterprise to remote servers.
