Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

Can a deployment client belong to multiple server classes?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only if specified by the server

4. Only in a clustered environment

The correct answer is: Yes

A deployment client can indeed belong to multiple server classes in Splunk. This functionality allows for greater flexibility and scalability in how configurations and apps are deployed across different clients. By assigning a deployment client to multiple server classes, it can receive different configurations and applications based on its membership in each class. This design is particularly useful in environments where various roles or functions may be needed by the same deployment client, ensuring that it can operate under different sets of configurations without the need for separate instances. A single deployment client can effectively receive updates tailored to its distinct requirements while still being managed centrally. In practical terms, this means that if a deployment client needs to operate with varying roles throughout its lifecycle, it can seamlessly adopt the necessary configuration changes by being part of multiple server classes, enhancing both operational efficiency and adaptability.
