Which factor can influence the outcome of a captain election in a Splunk search head cluster?

The number of members that vote for a candidate

The amount of disk space on the member

In a Splunk search head cluster, what is the primary responsibility of a cluster member?

To solely manage the replication of search artifacts to other members

To store the authoritative copy of the cluster's configuration for all members

To act as the primary node for all search execution in the cluster

To handle search requests and maintain a copy of the cluster's shared state

A search head cluster has four members. The captain detects that member C is not sending heartbeat signals. The captain marks member C as down and removes it from the cluster. What is the immediate impact on the remaining members?

The remaining members continue to serve searches, and the cluster rebalances scheduled searches among them.

The remaining members elect a new captain because the current captain is now considered unstable.

The remaining members begin replicating their state to the indexer tier to compensate for the lost member.

The remaining members stop accepting new searches until member C rejoins.
