Which consideration is most important when deciding whether to implement search head clustering?

The need to replicate indexed data for disaster recovery

The need to increase indexing throughput

The need for high availability and load balancing of search requests

The need to reduce storage costs

Which scenario best illustrates the primary reason an organization would migrate from a standalone Splunk deployment to a distributed architecture?

The organization needs to comply with a regulation that requires all data to be stored on a single physical server.

The organization wants to reduce the total cost of ownership by consolidating all Splunk components onto one server.

The organization's data volume has grown beyond the capacity of a single instance to index and search efficiently.

A small team needs to test Splunk features in a lab environment with minimal setup.

When implementing indexer clustering, what does the replication factor determine?

The number of search heads that can access the cluster

The number of buckets that can be searched in parallel

The number of forwarders that can send data to the cluster

The number of copies of each bucket that are stored across the cluster

A small company currently runs Splunk on a single server. They are adding a second data center and want to ensure that search continues even if one data center becomes unavailable. They also want to distribute search load. What architecture should they implement?

Standalone with multiple forwarders

Indexer cluster with search head cluster
