Which statement is NOT true regarding the Universal Forwarder?

It uses minimal CPU and memory
Output bandwidth is constrained to 256 kb by default
It has a built-in license with no limits
The web interface can be used to search local data

The correct answer is: The web interface can be used to search local data

The statement that the web interface can be used to search local data is not true regarding the Universal Forwarder. The Universal Forwarder is designed primarily for data collection and forwarding, and it does not include a web interface for searching data. Its main function is to send log data from monitored sources to a Splunk indexer or other data repositories, rather than allowing users to conduct searches directly on the data it collects. In contrast, the other statements reflect accurate characteristics of the Universal Forwarder. It is optimized for minimal resource usage, ensuring that it operates efficiently with low CPU and memory overhead. The output bandwidth limitation of 256 kb by default is an intentional design choice to moderate the amount of data being sent, preventing excessive network congestion. Lastly, the Universal Forwarder comes with an embedded license that allows for operation without additional licensing overhead, making it a practical choice for organizations looking to collect data with minimal compliance concerns.
