Questions 5
When running a search, which Splunk component retrieves the individual results?
The Search head (Option B) is responsible for initiating and coordinating search activities in a distributed environment. It sends search requests to the indexers (which store the data) and consolidates the results retrieved from them. The indexers store and retrieve the data, but the search head manages the user interaction and result aggregation.
