Which configuration shown is used to enable a forwarder as a deployment client of the server 10.1.2.3?

A[target-broker:deploymentServer] targetUri = 10.1.2.3:9997

B[target-broker:deploymentserver] targetUri = 10.1.2.3:8089

C[target-broker:deploymentserver] deploymentserver = 10.1.2.3:9997

D[target-broker:deploymentserver] deploymentserver = 10.1.2.3:8089

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

For setting up a deployment client, the correct stanza syntax in inputs.conf includes specifying targetUri with the port 8089, which is the management port for Splunk instances, not the data port 9997. [Reference: Splunk Docs on deployment server configurations]

I thought deployment clients used 8089, not 9997.

I’m leaning towards option A because it mentions "targetUri," but I’m confused about the port number. Was it 9997 or 8089 for deployment clients?

I feel like I saw something about the targetUri format in my notes, but I can't recall if it was for deployment clients or something else.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the correct port for deployment clients is usually 8089. So maybe it's option D?

I think it might be option C, but I'm not entirely sure about the syntax for the deployment server.

This seems straightforward - option D with the 8089 port looks like the correct configuration to enable the forwarder as a deployment client.

I'm a little confused by the different port numbers in the options. I'll need to double-check my understanding of deployment server settings to make sure I select the right one.

Okay, the key here is identifying the correct port for the deployment server. I think option A with the 9997 port is the way to go.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on deployment server configurations to see if I can spot the right answer.

This looks like a configuration question, so I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about which one would enable the forwarder as a deployment client.

Ah, the age-old question of which port to use for the deployment server. I've heard they change it every year just to keep us on our toes.

Wait, is the deployment server address supposed to be 10.1.2.3 or 192.168.1.1? I always get those IP addresses mixed up. Maybe I should just become a plumber instead.

Hold on, is this a trick question? What if the answer is actually the combination of two options, like 'B and D'? These certification exams are always trying to confuse us.

C looks good to me. The deploymentserver configuration sets the deployment server address, and 10.1.2.3:9997 is the correct port.

I think the answer is B. The targetUri configuration specifies the deployment server address, and 10.1.2.3:8089 is the correct port for the deployment server.
