Nope, it's definitely the Indexer.

You need to reset the fishbucket on the Indexer.

I’m confused because I thought the fishbucket was tied to the Indexer, but now I’m questioning if it’s actually the Forwarder.

I remember something about the Forwarder, but I can't recall if that's where the fishbucket is reset. It feels like a tricky question.

I think the fishbucket needs to be reset on the Indexer, but I'm not entirely sure. It might be related to how data is processed.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think it was about resetting the fishbucket on the Forwarder. That seems to make sense here too.

I'm pretty confident this will output NULL. The if statement checks if $a is truthy, and null is falsy, so the echo statement won't execute.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the user's security profile, so I'm wondering if the answer has something to do with that. I'll have to think it through carefully.
