To which of the following should the ES application be uploaded?

The correct choice is that the ES (Enterprise Security) application should be uploaded to the search head. This is because the search head is the component responsible for running the search queries and displaying the results within Splunk. The Enterprise Security app provides the necessary dashboards, reports, and correlation searches that utilize data indexed by Splunk. For these functionalities to operate effectively, the application must reside on the search head, where users can access its features and run analyses on the data.

In addition, the search head processes requests from users, sends queries to the indexers, and then collates and presents the results. By placing the ES application on the search head, it can leverage the data indexed from various sources, applying the advanced security features and analytics contained within the app.

Additionally, options such as the indexer, KV Store, and dedicated forwarder serve different roles within the Splunk architecture. The indexer is primarily responsible for storing and indexing data, while the KV Store handles key-value data storage. The dedicated forwarder focuses on data ingestion and forwarding it to the indexer. None of these components would provide the necessary interface and functionality for the Enterprise Security app, which is specifically designed to enhance the search head's capabilities.
