SPLK-2002 Exam Dumps : Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect

In the deployment planning process, a person should identify who gets to see network data in the data policy definition step. This step involves defining the data access policies and permissions for different users and roles in Splunk. The deployment schedule step involves defining the timeline and milestones for the deployment project. The topology diagramming step involves creating a visual representation of the Splunk architecture and components. The data source inventory step involves identifying and documenting the data sources and types that will be ingested by Splunk

According to the Splunk documentation1, indexer cluster knowledge bundles are the configuration files that the cluster master distributes to the peer nodes as part of the cluster configuration bundle. The knowledge bundles contain the knowledge objects, such as event types, tags, lookups, and so on, that are relevant for indexing and searching the data. The cluster master creates the knowledge bundles by merging the app-name/default and app-name/local directories from the apps that reside on the master node. The cluster master then pushes the knowledge bundles to the peer nodes, where they reside under the $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run directory2. The other options are false because:

Only app-name/local is pushed. This is false because the cluster master pushes both the app-name/default and app-name/local directories, after merging them, to the peer nodes. The app-name/local directory contains the local customizations of the app configuration, while the app-name/default directory contains the default app configuration3.

Only app-name/default is pushed. This is false because the cluster master pushes both the app-name/default and app-name/local directories, after merging them, to the peer nodes. The app-name/default directory contains the default app configuration, while the app-name/local directory contains the local customizations of the app configuration3.

app-name/default and app-name/local are pushed without change. This is false because the cluster master merges the app-name/default and app-name/local directories before pushing them to the peer nodes. This ensures that the peer nodes have the latest and consistent configuration of the apps3.

All of the forwarders would still be phoning home to the old deployment server, because the forwarders are configured to use the old deployment server in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local. This is the local configuration directory that contains the settings that override the default settings in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default. The deploymentclient.conf file in the local directory specifies the targetUri of the deployment server that the forwarder contacts for configuration updates and apps. If the forwarders have the old deployment server’s targetUri in the local directory, they will ignore the updated deploymentclient.conf file that was deployed by the old deployment server, because the local settings have higher precedence than the deployed settings. To fix this issue, the forwarders should either remove the deploymentclient.conf file from the local directory, or update it with the new deployment server’s targetUri. Option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because a version mismatch between the forwarders and the new deployment server would not prevent the forwarders from phoning home to the new deployment server, as long as they are compatible versions. Option B is incorrect because the new deployment server is configured and running, and there is no indication that it is not accepting connections from the forwarders. Option D is incorrect because the pass4SymmKey is the shared secret key that the deployment server and the forwarders use to authenticate each other. It does not affect the forwarders’ ability to phone home to the new deployment server, as long as it is the same on both sides12
