Which of the following statements describe licensing in a clustered Splunk deployment? (Select all that apply.)
Which of the following statements describe licensing in a clustered Splunk deployment? (Select all that apply.)
Free licenses do not support clustering, making such licenses unsuitable for use in a clustered Splunk deployment. Additionally, replicated data does not count against licensing; only the original indexed data is considered for license usage. Therefore, both A and B are correct. Each cluster member does not require its own clustering license as clustering is licensed based on the total amount of data indexed by the cluster. Moreover, cluster members must all share the same licensing configuration but not necessarily the same license pool and license master, making D invalid.
A,B,D - https://www.splunk.com/en_us/software/features-comparison-chart.html
Actually D is not mandatory: D. Cluster members must share the same license pool and license master. That is not correct with the word "Must" > Only Must is -> Cluster nodes must all share the same licensing configuration. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.0/Admin/Distdeploylicenses
ABD are correct
A. Free licenses do not support clustering: This statement is true. Free licenses do not support clustering. B. Replicated data does not count against licensing: This statement is true. Replicated data does not count against licensing. C. Each cluster member requires its own clustering license: This statement is false. Cluster members do not require their own clustering license. Rather, clustering is licensed based on the amount of data indexed by the cluster as a whole. Each cluster requires a license that covers the amount of data indexed by the entire cluster. D. Cluster members must share the same license pool and license master: This statement is true. Cluster members must share the same license pool and license master. The license master is responsible for managing the licenses for the entire cluster, and all cluster members must be configured to use the same license pool and license master.
also D should be true "Cluster nodes must all share the same licensing configuration." https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.0/Admin/Distdeploylicenses
A,B,D are correct
ABD All clusters must share same license pool (Cluster admin course page-13)
A. Free licenses do not support clustering. B. Replicated data does not count against licensing. D. Cluster members must share the same license pool and license master
A,B,D should be the answers
A,B,D - All cluster nodes, including manager nodes, peer nodes, and search heads, need to be in an Enterprise license pool, even if they're not expected to index any data. - Cluster nodes must share the same licensing configuration. - Only incoming data counts against the license; replicated data does not. - You cannot use index replication with a free license.
A/B D is not correct. Cluster members does not have to be same license pool and master https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.0/Admin/Distdeploylicenses Each indexer cluster node requires an Enterprise license. There are a few license issues that are specific to indexer clusters: Cluster nodes must all share the same licensing configuration. Only incoming data counts against the license; replicated data does not.
I take it back. A/B/D https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.2/Indexer/Systemrequirements
The Free license is for a standalone, single-instance use only installation.
