Where should apps be located on the deployment server that the clients pull from?

The correct answer is D. $SPLUNK HCME/etc/deployment-apps. Apps that clients (typically Universal Forwarders) pull from a deployment server must be placed in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps. The deployment server uses server classes to define which clients receive which apps from this directory. The other paths serve different purposes:

Explanation

Apps that clients (typically Universal Forwarders) pull from a deployment server must be placed in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps. The deployment server uses server classes to define which clients receive which apps from this directory. The other paths serve different purposes: etc/apps holds locally installed apps, etc/search does not exist as a standard path, and etc/master-apps is used by the indexer cluster manager to distribute configs to indexer cluster peers.
