Question 1 of 172
Which of the following will cause the greatest reduction in disk size requirements for a cluster of N indexers running Splunk Enterprise Security?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

Setting the cluster search factor to N-1 will cause the greatest reduction in disk size requirements for a cluster of N indexers running Splunk Enterprise Security. This is because replicated copies of non-searchable data are smaller than copies of searchable data, as they include only the data and not the associated index files. Reducing the search factor directly impacts the storage of these larger searchable indexes, thus significantly reducing the overall disk size requirements.

Question 2 of 172
Stakeholders have identified high availability for searchable data as their top priority. Which of the following best addresses this requirement?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

To ensure high availability of searchable data, it is necessary to increase the search factor in the cluster. The search factor refers to the number of searchable copies of data stored in the cluster, ensuring that there are multiple instances of usable, indexed data available. This directly addresses the requirement of making searchable data highly available.

Question 3 of 172
Search dashboards in the Monitoring Console indicate that the distributed deployment is approaching its capacity. Which of the following options will provide the most search performance improvement?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

Adding more search peers (indexers) and ensuring that forwarders distribute data evenly across all indexers will provide the most search performance improvement. This approach increases the overall capacity for searches and distributes the workload more efficiently, addressing the capacity issue more effectively than the other options.

Question 4 of 172
A Splunk architect has inherited the Splunk deployment at Buttercup Games and end users are complaining that the events are inconsistently formatted for a web sourcetype. Further investigation reveals that not all web logs flow through the same infrastructure: some of the data goes through heavy forwarders and some of the forwarders are managed by another department.
Which of the following items might be the cause for this issue?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

The issue is likely that the data inputs are not properly configured across all the forwarders. In a scenario where multiple forwarders are involved, inconsistently formatted events usually indicate discrepancies in how data inputs are set up on each forwarder. If some forwarders have different configurations or are not configured to handle the data uniformly, it can lead to inconsistent data formatting.

Question 5 of 172
A customer has installed a 500GB Enterprise license. They also purchased and installed a 300GB, no enforcement license on the same license master. How much data can the customer ingest before search is locked out?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

Search is not locked out if the customer has both a 500GB Enterprise license and a 300GB no enforcement license on the same license master. The no enforcement license allows the customer to exceed the allocated data limit without being locked out. Instead, violations are still recorded, but they do not result in a search lockout.
