Question 45

A new single-site three indexer cluster is being stood up with replication_factor:2, search_factor:2. At which step would the Indexer Cluster be classed as "˜Indexing Ready' and be able to ingest new data?

Step 1: Install and configure Cluster Master (CM)/Master Node with base clustering stanza settings, restarting CM.

Step 2: Configure a base app in etc/master-apps on the CM to enable a splunktcp input on port 9997 and deploy index creation configurations.

Step 3: Install and configure Indexer 1 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, download the latest config bundle.

Step 4: Indexer 1 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.

Step 5: Install and configure Indexer 2 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle

Step 6: Indexer 2 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.

Step 7: Install and configure Indexer 3 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle.

Step 8: Indexer 3 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.

    Correct Answer: C

    The Indexer Cluster will be considered 'Indexing Ready' when both the replication_factor and search_factor requirements are met. For the given scenario with replication_factor:2 and search_factor:2, this state is achieved when at least two indexers have successfully joined the cluster. At Step 6, Indexer 2 has joined the cluster, thus fulfilling the replication_factor and search_factor, making the cluster ready to ingest new data.

Discussion
Nemo72Option: C

C is correct

IDM

It can start ingesting raw data as soon as the 1st one is up, it won't meet the RF or SF factors until both are up and running

IDM

My answer was wrong it is C: when the Master starts up for the 1st time it will block indexing on the peers until you have enabled and restarted the replication factor number of peers

frappeOption: C

ingest blocked on peers connected to manager mode before RF/SF is met, thus two peers are necessary for “indexing ready” state.

v12Option: C

should be C, needs 2 peers
