When using Splunk Universal Forwarders, which of the following is true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Universal Forwarders can connect directly to Splunk Cloud, and there is no limit on the number of Universal Forwarders that may connect directly to it. This capability allows organizations to scale their data ingestion easily by deploying as many Universal Forwarders as needed without the requirement for intermediate forwarders unless additional data processing, filtering, or load balancing is required.

Haha, I bet the answer is C. Universal Forwarders are like the middle children of the Splunk family - always getting overlooked!

B is the answer, no doubt. Splunk Cloud is a cloud-based service, so it can handle as many Universal Forwarders as needed.

D is the way to go. There's a 3:1 ratio for Universal Forwarders to Intermediate Forwarders.

C seems more likely to me. Universal Forwarders usually need to send data to an Intermediate Forwarder.

I think I saw something about needing one Intermediate Forwarder for every few Universal Forwarders, but I can't remember the exact ratio.

I vaguely recall that Universal Forwarders can send data directly to Splunk Cloud, which might mean option A is incorrect.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like we practiced a question about Intermediate Forwarders, and it mentioned something about needing them for data routing.
