    sequenceDiagram participant Admin participant Deployer participant SHC_Captain as SHC Captain participant SHC_Member as SHC Member Admin->>Deployer: Places new app in shcluster/apps/ Admin->>Deployer: Runs 'splunk apply shcluster-bundle' Deployer->>SHC_Captain: Pushes configuration bundle SHC_Captain->>SHC_Member: Replicates bundle to all members SHC_Member-->>SHC_Captain: Acknowledges replication SHC_Captain-->>Deployer: Confirms successful deployment

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: B

    The correct process involves the administrator placing updated configurations in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/shcluster/apps/ directory on the deployer. The splunk apply shcluster-bundle command is then executed. The deployer pushes this bundle to the current cluster captain. The captain is then responsible for replicating the bundle to all other cluster members to ensure consistency across the cluster.
