What occurs when an app is deleted from the server?

  1. Configuration files and scripts are deleted from the server

  2. The app can be reinstalled at a later date

  3. The user's private app artifacts remain untouched

  4. All components of the app are permanently lost

The correct answer is: Configuration files and scripts are deleted from the server

When an app is deleted from the server in Splunk, configuration files and scripts associated with that app are indeed removed from the server. This process is designed to ensure that the environment only contains the apps that are necessary for operation. While it is true that the app can often be reinstalled later, this doesn't mean that its previous configuration files or artifacts are retained after deletion. The user’s private app artifacts would typically be removed during the app deletion as well, depending on how the app was structured and the permissions in place. It is also important to note that all components of the app, which may include dashboards, configurations, and scripts, are considered permanently lost upon deletion without a backup. Thus, the selection made highlights the fact that deletion results in the removal of all associated files from the server. This understanding emphasizes the need for careful management of apps within Splunk to avoid unintentional loss of important configurations and scripts.
