Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 80

In a distributed environment, which Splunk component is used to distribute apps and configurations to the other Splunk instances?

Answer options

• A. Indexer
• B. Deployer
• C. Forwarder
• D. Deployment server

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Deployment server is specifically designed to manage and distribute apps and configurations to other Splunk instances, making it the correct answer. The Indexer is primarily responsible for indexing data, the Deployer is not a standard Splunk component, and the Forwarder is used to send data to the Indexer rather than distribute configurations.
