What command do we use to tell the Deployment Server to rescan for changes without restarting Splunk?

The command used to instruct the Deployment Server to rescan for changes without restarting Splunk is "splunk reload deploy-server." This command allows the Deployment Server to re-evaluate its configuration and recognize any new updates or modifications that have been made to the deployment apps, server classes, or any other related settings without the need for a full restart. This functionality enhances the efficiency of managing configurations as it allows for immediate application of changes, facilitating a seamless update experience.

Utilizing this command is particularly beneficial in environments where minimizing downtime is critical and where configurations can change frequently. It ensures that all connected clients receive the latest configurations in a timely manner, aiding in effective deployment management. The other options involve either restarting the server or do not correspond to a valid Splunk command for this purpose, which would disrupt service or fail to achieve the intended effect of refreshing the deployment settings.
