Question 15

Which Splunk Enterprise offering has its own license?

    Correct Answer: B

    Splunk Heavy Forwarder has its own license because it is a full-fledged Splunk Enterprise instance that can perform advanced data parsing, indexing, and forwarding. This capability requires a license, unlike the Splunk Universal Forwarder, which is a lightweight, free tool primarily used to collect and forward data without needing a separate license.
