Which of the following best describes the storage needs of a Splunk cluster master?

Large, because it stores all indexed data

Small, because it does not store any data

Small, because it only stores metadata and configuration

Large, because it stores search artifacts

In a non-smartstore Splunk deployment, what is the primary difference between warm and cold storage?

Warm storage contains recent data that is actively searched, while cold storage contains older data that is less frequently accessed

Warm storage is used for replicated data, while cold storage is used for non-replicated data

Warm storage is faster but smaller, while cold storage is slower but larger

Warm storage is on local disk, while cold storage is always on network-attached storage

A company is deploying a non-smartstore Splunk environment with a single search head and multiple indexers. The search head will serve 50 concurrent users running scheduled and ad hoc searches. Which storage consideration is most important when sizing the search head's local disk?

Allocating space for the search head to act as a hot/warm storage tier for the cluster

Providing space for a full copy of the indexed data to accelerate search performance

Reserving disk for the search head's own index of internal logs and metrics

Allocating enough space for search artifacts and temporary files generated by running searches

In a non-smartstore Splunk Enterprise deployment, which component typically requires the most disk space for its primary function?

Deployment server – for storing apps and configuration bundles

Indexer – for storing indexed data and its associated metadata

Search head – for storing search artifacts and temporary files

Cluster master – for storing cluster metadata and configuration

Which disk performance metric is most critical for indexers in a non-smartstore Splunk deployment?

IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second)

Part of the Clustering and Deployment Architecture domain, which makes up ~20% of our current practice bank. Splunk does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~7–12 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 23 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
