Which command lets you view the current forwarders list?

The command that allows you to view the current forwarders list is "splunk list forwardserver." This command provides a comprehensive view of the forwarders that are configured to send data to a Splunk instance. When you execute this command, it displays the forwarders that are actively communicating with the Splunk server, including their hostnames or IP addresses and associated configurations.

Understanding the forwarders list is crucial for effective data management and monitoring within a Splunk environment, as it helps administrators ensure that data is being collected and sent correctly from all designated sources. This is particularly important in scenarios where you need to troubleshoot data ingestion issues or verify the configuration of your deployment.

The other commands provided do not serve this specific purpose. For instance, commands like "splunk list forwarders," "splunk show forwarders," and "splunk display forwarders" do not exist in the Splunk command set used to manage or view forwarders, which clarifies why they cannot be the correct answer.
