A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
You are drawing an architecture diagram that includes a deployment server, a license manager and a monitoring console. What are those management components?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
Every management role is the same software configured differently, which keeps the estate uniform to install and upgrade. It also means a role can move between hosts.
Why D
Splunk states that management components support the activities of the processing components, and that as with processing components, management components are specially configured versions of Splunk Enterprise instances.
