Report
Export

A customer plans to ingest 600 GB of data per day into Splunk. They will have six concurrent users, and they also want high data availability and high search performance. The customer is concerned about cost and wants to spend the minimum amount on the hardware for Splunk. How many indexers are recommended for this deployment?

A.

Two indexers not in a cluster, assuming users run many long searches.

Answers

Two indexers clustered, assuming high availability is the greatest priority.

Answers
C.

Two indexers clustered, assuming high availability is the greatest priority.

D.

Two indexers clustered, assuming a high volume of saved/scheduled searches.

Answers
D.

Two indexers clustered, assuming a high volume of saved/scheduled searches.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

Two indexers clustered is the recommended deployment for a customer who plans to ingest 600 GB of data per day into Splunk, has six concurrent users, and wants high data availability and high search performance. This deployment will provide enough indexing capacity and search concurrency for the customer's needs, while also ensuring data replication and searchability across the cluster. The customer can also save on the hardware cost by using only two indexers. Two indexers not in a cluster will not provide high data availability, as there is no data replication or failover. Three indexers not in a cluster will provide more indexing capacity and search concurrency, but also more hardware cost and no data availability. The customer's data retention period, number of long searches, or volume of saved/scheduled searches are not relevant for determining the number of indexers. For more information, see [Reference hardware] and [About indexer clusters and index replication] in the Splunk documentation.
