What is the primary driver behind implementing indexer clustering in a customer's environment?

• A.To reduce indexing latency.
• B.To provide higher availability for buckets of data.
• C.To scale out a Splunk environment to offer higher performance capability.
• D.To improve resiliency as the search load increases.

A customer has three users and is planning to ingest 250GB of data per day. They are concerned with search uptime, can tolerate up to a two-hour downtime for the search tier, and want advice on single search head versus a search head cluster. (SHC).
Which recommendation is the most appropriate?

• A.The customer should deploy a SHC, because it will be required to support the high volume of data.
• B.The customer should deploy a SHC with a single member for HA; more members can be added later.
• C.The customer should deploy two active search heads behind a load balancer to support HA.
• D.The customer should deploy a single search head with a warm standby search head and an rsync process to synchronize configurations.

A customer with a large distributed environment has blacklisted a large lookup from the search bundle to decrease the bundle size using distsearch.conf.
After this change, when running searches utilizing the lookup that was blacklisted they see error messages in the Splunk Search UI stating the lookup file does not exist.
What can the customer do to resolve the issue?

• A.The search needs to be modified to ensure the lookup command specified parameter blacklist=false.
• B.The search needs to be modified to ensure the lookup command specifies parameter local=true.
• C.The lookup cannot be blacklisted; the change must be reverted.
• D.The blacklisted lookup definition stanza needs to be modified to specify setting allow_caching=true.

A customer has a multisite cluster (two sites, each site in its own data center) and users experiencing a slow response when searches are run on search heads located in either site. The Search Job Inspector shows the delay is being caused by search heads on either site waiting for results to be returned by indexers on the opposing site. The network team has confirmed that there is limited bandwidth available between the two data centers, which are in different geographic locations.
Which of the following would be the least expensive and easiest way to improve search performance?

• A.Configure site_search_factor to ensure a searchable copy exists in the local site for each search head.
• B.Set the site setting on each indexer in the server.conf clustering stanza to be the same for all indexers regardless of site.
• C.Install a network pipe with more bandwidth between the two data centers.
• D.Move all indexers and search heads in one of the data centers into the same site.

A [script://] input sends data to a Splunk forwarder using which method?

• A.Temporary file
• B.TCP stream
• C.UDP stream
• D.STDOUT/STDERR
