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?
