A Splunk admin has just enabled acceleration on a data model that contains 90 days of historical data. The admin wants the accelerated summaries to be available as quickly as possible. What should the admin do after enabling acceleration?

Run a tstats search to force the acceleration to build the summaries.

Wait for the next scheduled acceleration cycle to build the summaries automatically.

Reduce the summary range to 7 days to speed up the initial build.

Run a backfill to build the tsidx files for the full 90-day range immediately.

When using the `tstats` command, what does the `prestats` argument do?

It specifies the time range for the search.

It forces the search to use raw events instead of tsidx files.

It returns intermediate statistics that can be used in further processing.

It limits the search to a specific index.

What happens to tsidx files when the summary range for an accelerated data model expires?

They are moved to cold storage.

They are deleted and searches fall back to raw events for that time period.

They are compressed to save space.

They are automatically rebuilt from raw events.

A security operations team frequently runs searches against an accelerated data model for authentication events. The searches only ever need to look at the past 30 days of data, but the data model currently accelerates 180 days. The team notices that the accelerated data model consumes significant disk space on the indexers. The team wants to reduce storage consumption while still supporting their 30-day search window. What should they do?

Delete the data model and recreate it without acceleration, then use tstats against the raw index.

Set the summary range to 30 days but leave the existing tsidx files in place until they expire naturally.

Keep the 180-day summary range but change the backfill to only run during off-peak hours.

Change the summary range of the accelerated data model to 30 days and run a backfill.
