Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

How can you display the current deployment server information on a forwarder?

1. ./splunk show deploy-poll

2. ./splunk get deploy-server

3. ./splunk status

4. ./splunk display deploy-config

The correct answer is: ./splunk show deploy-poll

To display the current deployment server information on a forwarder, utilizing the command to show deploy-poll is essential because it specifically provides details about the deployment server configurations and the schedule for polling. This command focuses on the relationship between the forwarder and the deployment server, indicating how frequently the forwarder checks in for updates and which deployment server it is configured to communicate with. The other options do not directly present the requested deployment server information. For instance, retrieving the deploy-server might suggest configurations but lacks specific context about the polling status. Checking the Splunk status would provide a broader overview of the forwarder's health rather than details about the deployment server. Lastly, while displaying deploy-config may provide some insights into deployment-related settings, it does not serve as a comprehensive check on the forwarder's connection to the deployment server. Thus, the choice to use the deploy-poll command is the most appropriate for obtaining the current deployment server information.
