Question
Which of the following tasks should the architect perform when building a deployment plan? (Select all that apply.)
Options
- AUse case checklist.
- BInstall Splunk apps.
- CInventory data sources.
- DReview network topology.
Explanation
Choices A (Use case checklist), C (Inventory data sources), and D (Review network topology) are the correct answers for a Splunk deployment planning context.
These three tasks are foundational to planning a deployment: a use case checklist defines what the system must accomplish, inventorying data sources identifies what will be ingested and at what volume, and reviewing network topology reveals connectivity constraints, firewall rules, and data flow paths - all of which directly shape architectural decisions around forwarders, indexers, and search heads.
B (Install Splunk apps) is wrong because installing apps is an implementation step that happens after the plan is finalized, not during the planning phase itself. An architect designs the blueprint; installation is an operator/deployment task.
Memory tip: Think "Plan before you touch" - the architect's job is to understand the environment (topology, data sources, requirements) before anyone touches the software. If a task involves clicking "Install," it belongs after the plan, not in it.
