A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
You need one tool that pushes content updates out to whole groups of forwarders and other instances. What does the deployment server distribute?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
One tool pushing configuration to many instances keeps a large estate consistent. It moves settings rather than data, which is why it never touches an index.
Why B
Splunk states that the deployment server is the tool for distributing configurations, apps and content updates to groups of Splunk Enterprise instances.
