When planning disk usage for warm and cold storage, which of the following is a key consideration?

Warm storage must be faster than cold storage, but both require the same capacity

Cold storage can be slower and less expensive, but must still be sufficient for the total data volume

Warm storage should be sized to hold all data for the entire retention period

Cold storage is not required in a non-smartstore deployment

A Splunk environment has a single search head with a 200 GB local disk. The search head is used by 30 analysts who run frequent, large searches that generate substantial temporary files. The disk is currently 80% full, and the administrator is concerned about search failures due to insufficient disk space. Which action is the MOST appropriate to mitigate this risk?

Increase the search head's disk capacity to accommodate peak temporary file usage.

Configure the search head to stream results directly to the user's browser, bypassing local storage.

Move the search head's temporary directory to a network share to offload disk usage.

Reduce the search factor on the indexers to decrease the amount of data sent to the search head.

Which of the following is a disk performance consideration for search heads in a non-smartstore deployment?

High IOPS for reading and writing search artifacts

Low latency for cold storage access

Large storage capacity for indexed data

High network throughput for data replication

A company is deploying a non-smartstore Splunk environment with 3 indexers, 1 search head, and 1 cluster master. The architect is preparing a storage plan. Which component typically requires the LEAST amount of disk space?

All components require the same amount of disk space.
