I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I’m leaning towards the indexer as the right answer for this one.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the search head also interacted with the deployment server, but that might be for configuration purposes.

I remember practicing a question about Splunk components, and I think the search head pulls data from the indexer for searches.

From what I recall, the search head definitely interacts with the indexer, but I wonder if the forwarder has any role in that process.

I’m a bit confused about the roles of the components. Is the deployment server involved in this communication too?

I remember practicing a question about Splunk architecture, and I think the search head sends queries to the indexer for data retrieval.
