Splunk SPLK-1003 Exam - Topic 1 Question 97 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1003 exam
Question #: 97
Topic #: 1
[All SPLK-1003 Questions]

When deploying apps on Universal Forwarders using the deployment server, what is the correct component and location of the app before it is deployed?

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.

I'm a bit confused; I thought the app was supposed to be on the Universal Forwarder itself, but that doesn't seem right for deployment.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the correct answer is C, where the app is on the Deployment Server in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps directory.

I remember something about the apps being stored on the Deployment Server, but I can't recall if it's in the apps or deployment-apps folder.

I think the app needs to be on the Deployment Server in the deployment-apps directory, but I'm not entirely sure if that's correct.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is C. The deployment server is where the apps are staged before being pushed out to the Universal Forwarders, and they need to be in the deployment-apps folder specifically.

I'm a little confused by this question. Is the app being deployed directly to the Universal Forwarder, or is it going through the deployment server first? I want to make sure I understand the process before I answer.

Okay, I've got this. The apps need to be in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps folder on the deployment server before they can be deployed to the Universal Forwarders. That's the correct location, so the answer is C.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know the apps need to be on the deployment server, but I can't remember if they go in the regular apps folder or the deployment-apps folder. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Ah, I remember this from the training! The correct answer is C, "set cluster member state down in Clish". That's the proper way to manually failover a Multi-Version Cluster during an upgrade. Glad I brushed up on that before the exam.

That's a good point, Fausto. Having the app on the Universal Forwarder ensures that it is ready for deployment without any delays.

I'm going to have to go with C. The Deployment Server is where the app needs to be before it gets deployed. It's like a pre-deployment staging area.
