An administrator wants to be notified immediately when the indexing volume exceeds a certain threshold. What is the most appropriate way to set this up?

Manually check the Monitoring Console daily

Create an alert based on a search that measures indexing volume

A Splunk Cloud admin is troubleshooting an issue where searches are returning incomplete results. The admin has checked the Indexer Health dashboard and found that one indexer is marked as 'down'. The admin wants to determine if the down indexer is causing the incomplete search results. Which additional information should the admin review to confirm this?

The Search Activity dashboard to see if searches are failing

The replication factor and search factor settings for the affected index

The _audit index for authentication failures

The Data Volume dashboard to see if the down indexer was receiving data

An administrator checks the Monitoring Console and sees that one indexer in the cluster is marked as 'Down'. What does this status indicate about the indexer?

The indexer is overloaded and rejecting new data

The indexer has a low replication factor

The indexer is not available to receive or serve data

The indexer is performing a rolling restart

A Splunk Cloud admin is responsible for monitoring a large deployment with multiple indexers. The admin has been asked to provide a weekly report on indexing performance, data volume, and search-related metrics. The admin wants to use the Monitoring Console to generate this report. Which approach should the admin take to efficiently gather this information?

Create a custom dashboard that displays the required metrics from the Monitoring Console's data

Manually navigate to each relevant dashboard and take screenshots

Use the Indexing Overview dashboard and export the data to a CSV file

Use the Monitoring Console's built-in report generation feature
