   A company is planning to ingest high-volume network flow data into Splunk. They expect peak rates of 50,000 events per second. The current Splunk architecture is a single indexer. What should the team consider to ensure the integration can handle this load?

   • AUse a single heavy forwarder to pre-process and index all data
   • BScale out the indexing tier by adding more indexers and using load balancing
   • CStore the data in a data lake and only query it when needed
   • DReduce the data volume by sampling only 10% of the network flows

   A security team has integrated a new log source, but searches for events from that source are returning incomplete results. The data is being ingested, but some events appear to be missing. What should the team investigate FIRST to diagnose the issue?

   • AVerify that the indexer has enough disk space
   • BReview the search head's permissions for the index
   • CCheck for parsing errors or truncation in the input configuration
   • DConfirm that the firewall is not blocking the data source

   A company is integrating security data from multiple cloud providers and on-premises systems. They want to ensure that the integration strategy is maintainable and can adapt to future changes. What is the most important consideration?

   • ADocument the integration architecture, including data flows, source types, and dependencies
   • BEnsure all data is stored in a single format for consistency
   • CUse a single vendor's solution for all integrations to simplify management
   • DAutomate all integrations using scripts to reduce manual effort

   A company is designing an integration architecture to support real-time correlation of security events. They have a mix of high-volume machine data and low-volume, high-value alerts from a SIEM tool. What architecture pattern should they use?

   • AUse a single heavy forwarder to process all data before indexing
   • BIngest all data into a single index to simplify correlation
   • CUse a data lake for all data and perform correlation only on demand
   • DUse a tiered approach: index high-volume data in a separate index and route high-value alerts to a dedicated index with faster search
