Search heads in a company's European offices need to be able to search data in their New York offices. They also need to restrict access to certain indexers. What should be configured to allow this type of action?
The correct answer is C. Distributed search is the feature that allows search heads in a company's European offices to search data in their New York offices. Distributed search also enables restricting access to certain indexers by using the splunk_server field or the server.conf file1.
Distributed search is a way to scale your Splunk deployment by separating the search management and presentation layer from the indexing and search retrieval layer. With distributed search, a Splunk instance called a search head sends search requests to a group of indexers, or search peers, which perform the actual searches on their indexes. The search head then merges the results back to the user2.
Distributed search has several use cases, such as horizontal scaling, access control, and managing geo-dispersed data. For example, users in different offices can search data across the enterprise or only in their local area, depending on their needs and permissions2.
The other options are incorrect because:
A . Indexer clustering is a feature that replicates data across a group of indexers to ensure data availability and recovery. Indexer clustering does not directly affect distributed search, although search heads can be configured to search across an indexer cluster3.
B . LDAP control is a feature that allows Splunk to integrate with an external LDAP directory service for user authentication and role mapping. LDAP control does not affect distributed search, although it can be used to manage user access to data and searches.
D . Search head clustering is a feature that distributes the search workload across a group of search heads that share resources, configurations, and jobs. Search head clustering does not affect distributed search, although the search heads in a cluster can search across the same set of indexers.
Which of the following is an acceptable channel value when using the HTTP Event Collector indexer acknowledgment capability?
The HTTP Event Collector (HEC) supports indexer acknowledgment to confirm event delivery. Each acknowledgment is associated with a unique GUID (Globally Unique Identifier).
GUID ensures events are not re-indexed in the case of retries.
Incorrect Options:
B, C, D: These are not valid channel values in HEC acknowledgments.

When deploying apps on Universal Forwarders using the deployment server, what is the correct component and location of the app before it is deployed?
The correct answer is C. On Deployment Server, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps.
The other options are incorrect because:
Which file will be matched for the following monitor stanza in inputs. conf?
The correct answer is C. /var/log/host_460352847/bar/file/foo.txt.
[monitor://<input path>]
Therefore, the file /var/log/host_460352847/bar/file/foo.txt will be matched by the monitor stanza, as it meets the criteria. The other files will not be matched, because:
A) /var/log/host_460352847/temp/bar/file/csv/foo.txt has a .csv extension, not a .txt extension.
B) /var/log/host_460352847/bar/foo.txt is not located in a subdirectory under the bar directory, but directly in the bar directory.
D) /var/log/host_460352847/temp/bar/file/foo.txt is located in a subdirectory named file under the bar directory, not directly in the bar directory.
