Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 125

Which of the following Splunk components require a separate installation package?

Answer options

• A. Deployment server
• B. License master
• C. Universal forwarder
• D. Heavy forwarder

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Universal forwarder is a lightweight version of Splunk designed specifically for collecting and forwarding log data, which necessitates a separate installation package. In contrast, the Deployment server, License master, and Heavy forwarder are components that can be installed through the standard Splunk installation process without requiring their own distinct packages.
