If an update is made to an attribute in inputs.conf on a universal forwarder, on which Splunk component would the fishbucket need to be reset in order to reindex the data?
A . Indexer
B . Forwarder
C . Search head
D . Deployment server

Answer: A

Explanation:

https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/tips-and-tricks/what-is-this-fishbucket-thing.html "Every Splunk instance has a fishbucket index, except the lightest of hand-tuned lightweight forwarders, and if you index a lot of files it can get quite large. As any other index, you can change the retention policy to control the size via indexes.conf"
