Question #: 34
Topic #: 10
Which of the following is a correct statement about Universal Forwarders?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

A Universal Forwarder (UF) can indeed be configured as an Intermediate Forwarder. This means that the UF can receive data from other forwarders and then forward that data on to indexers or Splunk Cloud, effectively acting as a relay point in the data forwarding chain.
* Option Ais incorrect because a Universal Forwarder does not need to contact the license master; only indexers and search heads require this.
* Option Bis incorrect as Universal Forwarders can connect directly to Splunk Cloud or via other forwarders.
* Option Dis also incorrect because the default output bandwidth limit for a UF is typically much higher than 500KBps (default is 256KBps per pipeline, but can be configured).
