Explanation

The Monitoring Console monitors forwarders by receiving their internal logs that the forwarders themselves forward to the indexers. Forwarders send data from their own _internal index (containing metrics, performance data, and health information) to the indexers, and the Monitoring Console reads these forwarded internal logs to track forwarder health and status. It does not pull logs from forwarders (A), and the deployment server is not responsible for forwarding these logs (D). While a forwarder monitoring add-on (B) exists as a separate tool, the core mechanism the Monitoring Console uses is the internally generated logs forwarded by the forwarders themselves.
