Which setting in deploymentclient.conf specifies the frequency of check-ins with the deployment server?

serverClass
checkInInterval
deploymentInterval
phoneHomeIntervalInSecs

The correct answer is: phoneHomeIntervalInSecs

The correct choice regarding the setting in deploymentclient.conf that specifies the frequency of check-ins with the deployment server is phoneHomeIntervalInSecs. This parameter determines how often the forwarder will "phone home" or check in with the deployment server to retrieve any updates or configuration changes that may be applicable. This setting is crucial in scenarios where Splunk forwarders are being managed, as it allows for timely updates and ensures that the forwarders are functioning with the most recent configurations. By defining this interval, administrators can control the balance between real-time updates and performance overhead, ensuring efficient communication without overwhelming the network or the servers. The other options, while related to deployment and server classes, do not serve the same function of specifying check-in frequency. Making an informed decision about these intervals is essential for maintaining an effective Splunk deployment, as it directly impacts how quickly configurations can be pushed out to forwarders.
