SPLK-1003 Exam - Question 108


An index stores its data in buckets. Which default directories does Splunk use to store buckets? (Choose all that apply.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BCD

Splunk stores its data in buckets for different stages of data lifecycle. The default directories include 'colddb' for cold data, which is older indexed data that has been rolled from the 'hot' and 'warm' states but is still searchable. The 'db' directory is used for hot and warm buckets, where 'hot' buckets are the current writeable buckets, and they turn into 'warm' buckets upon meeting certain size or age criteria. 'bucketdb' and 'frozendb' are not part of the standard directories used for active searchable data storage in Splunk.

Yes C & D The default directories Splunk uses to store buckets are: C. `colddb` - This directory stores cold buckets, which are older indexed data that has been rolled from the "hot" and "warm" states but is still searchable. D. `db` - This directory is typically associated with hot and warm buckets. "Hot" buckets are the current writeable buckets where new data is indexed. When they reach a certain size or age, they become "warm" buckets. The `bucketdb` is not a standard directory for storing Splunk data buckets, and `frozendb` is where frozen data is stored, but it's important to note that frozen data is no longer searchable within Splunk, as it's considered archived or deleted based on the retention policy.
