Splunk SPLK-1005 Exam - Topic 7 Question 33 Discussion

Posted by Galen on Jun 27, 2026 at 02:55 AM

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

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.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like there was something about needing an Intermediate Forwarder for data to be sent properly.

I think I remember that there’s no limit on how many Universal Forwarders can connect to Splunk Cloud, so maybe B?
