A company has a search head cluster with three members. They want to ensure that if one member fails, the other members can still run scheduled searches. What is required for this to happen?

The scheduled searches must be configured on each member.

A load balancer must be placed in front of the cluster.

The cluster must have at least two active members.

The cluster master must be configured with a failover policy.

A company runs Splunk on a single server ingesting 50 GB/day. They expect data volume to triple over the next year and need to ensure search performance remains acceptable. They also want to protect against the loss of ingested data if a server fails. What should they do first?

Add more forwarders to send data to the standalone instance.

Deploy an indexer cluster with multiple indexers and configure replication.

Deploy a search head cluster and add search heads to distribute search load.

Move to a heavier single server with more CPU and RAM.
