Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 144

When working with an indexer cluster, what changes with the global precedence when comparing to a standalone deployment?

Answer options

• A. Nothing changes.
• B. The peer-apps local directory becomes the highest priority.
• C. The app local directories move to second in the priority list.
• D. The system default directory becomes the highest priority.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because in an indexer cluster, the peer-apps local directory takes precedence over others, reflecting the need for distributed data handling. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they either state no changes occur or misrepresent the priority structure of the directories.
