Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

Which Splunk command reloads the configurations for deployment?

1. ./splunk reload deploy-config

2. ./splunk refresh deploy-settings

3. ./splunk update deploy-server

4. ./splunk reload deploy-server

The correct answer is: ./splunk reload deploy-server

The command that reloads the configurations for deployment in Splunk is designated as the one that correctly interacts with the deployment server configurations. When you use this command, Splunk retrieves the latest deployment configurations from the instance, ensuring that any changes made to the deployment apps or server configurations are applied without needing to restart the Splunk service. This facilitates a smooth operation, allowing the administrator to manage and update configurations efficiently. The other options, while they may sound similar, serve different purposes or may not exist as valid commands for the Splunk deployment context. For instance, refreshing settings or updating the deploy server typically involves different processes that do not specifically aim to reload configurations from deployment apps. This is why selecting the command that explicitly reloads the deployment configurations is crucial for the proper management of Splunk deployments.
