Reference:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.3/Admin/Groups,stacks,pools,andotherterminology

When using license pools, volume allocations apply to indexers. A license pool is a group of indexers that share a certain amount of daily indexing volume. The license pool specifies how much data each indexer can index per day, as well as which indexes are available for each indexer. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

The Splunk component that requires a separate installation package is the universal forwarder. The universal forwarder is a lightweight Splunk agent that forwards data to indexers or other forwarders.

The universal forwarder has a different installation package than the Splunk Enterprise package, which includes all the other Splunk components. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Which data pipeline phase is the last opportunity for defining event boundaries?

Input phase
Input phase
Indexing phase
Indexing phase
Parsing phase
Parsing phase
Search phase
Search phase
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

Reference

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.3/Admin/Configurationparametersandthedatapipeline

The parsing phase is the process of extracting fields and values from raw data. The parsing phase respects LINE_BREAKER, SHOULD_LINEMERGE, BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE, and all other line merging settings in props.conf. These settings determine how Splunk breaks the data into events based on certain criteria, such as timestamps or regular expressions. The event boundaries are defined by the props.conf file, which can be modified by the administrator. Therefore, the parsing phase is the last opportunity for defining event boundaries.

A company moves to a distributed architecture to meet the growing demand for the use of Splunk.

What parameter can be configured to enable automatic load balancing in the Universal Forwarder to send data to the indexers?

Create one outputs . conf file for each of the server addresses in the indexing tier.

Set the stanza to have a server value equal to a comma-separated list of IP addresses and indexer ports for each of the indexers in the environment.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Set the stanza to have a server value equal to a comma-separated list of IP addresses and indexer ports for each of the indexers in the environment. This is explained in the Splunk documentation1, which states:

To enable automatic load balancing, set the stanza to have a server value equal to a commaseparated list of IP addresses and indexer ports for each of the indexers in the environment. For example:

[tcpout] server=10.1.1.1:9997,10.1.1.2:9997,10.1.1.3:9997

The forwarder then distributes data across all of the indexers in the list.

Run $SPLUNK ROME/bin/spiunk set deploy-poi i : from the command line of the deployment server.
Suggested answer: A, C

Explanation:

The correct methods to connect a deployment client to a deployment server are A and C. You can either run the command splunk set deploy-poll <IP_address/hostname>:<management_port> from the command line of the deployment client1 or create and edit a deploymentclient.conf file in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local on the deployment client2. Both methods require you to specify the IP address, hostname, and management port of the deployment server that you want the client to connect to.
