Which command allows you to see the current list of receivers from the forwarder?

  1. splunk display receivers

  2. splunk list forwards

  3. splunk list forward-server

  4. splunk show receivers

The correct answer is: splunk list forward-server

The command to display the current list of receivers from the forwarder is "splunk list forward-server." This command is specifically designed to show the configuration of the forwarder, including the list of receiving indexers it is configured to send data to. Understanding this command is essential for administrators working with Splunk forwarders because it aids in verifying the communication setup between forwarders and indexers or other receivers. This ensures that data is being sent correctly and helps troubleshoot issues related to data ingestion. The other commands do not serve the purpose of listing the receivers. Options mentioning "display" and "show" may not be applicable, as they could refer to different command functions in the Splunk architecture. Therefore, recognizing "splunk list forward-server" as the accurate command is crucial for effective Splunk administration.
