   An admin is seeing 'parsing queue is full' messages in splunkd.log during a large data migration. The admin needs to ensure that no data is lost while the queue is full. What is the best course of action?

   • AReduce the number of inputs to slow down ingestion.
   • BIncrease the parsing queue size in server.conf.
   • CRestart the indexer to clear the queue.
   • DIgnore the messages because the queue will drain on its own.
