Which component is used to manage and distribute apps to the members of a search head cluster?

Deployer
Forwarder
Indexer
Manager

The correct answer is: Deployer

The Deployer is the component responsible for managing and distributing apps to members of a search head cluster in Splunk. In a search head cluster, multiple search heads work in unison to provide enhanced search capabilities, and the Deployer acts as a centralized mechanism to ensure all search heads are consistently configured and have the necessary apps installed. When an app is updated or a new app is added, the Deployer streamlines the process of pushing these changes out to all search head instances, which helps maintain uniformity across the cluster. This ensures that users experience consistent functionalities and that searches can access the same resources throughout the cluster. The other options refer to different components within the Splunk architecture. The Forwarder is used for collecting and forwarding log data to your indexers, while the Indexer is responsible for indexing and storing the data for search. The term Manager can refer to various functionalities within Splunk but does not specifically denote a component dedicated to app management and distribution in a search head cluster.
