A company runs a Splunk indexer cluster with six peer nodes. The search head has been configured to distribute searches across all peers. Recently, a new peer node was added, but searches are not returning results from it. The cluster master reports the new peer as 'Unregistered'. Which action should the administrator take to resolve this?

Run `splunk add cluster-peer` on the new peer node to register it with the cluster master.

Enable the new peer as a search head in the cluster master's configuration.

Restart the search head to force it to re-discover the new peer.

Add the new peer's IP address to the search head's `distsearch.conf` file.

A Splunk administrator needs to deploy a new app to all indexers in a cluster. The app must be installed on every peer node and the search head. Which approach should the administrator use?

Use the cluster master to replicate the app to all peers.

Place the app in the search head's apps directory and it will automatically sync to peers.

Use the deployment server to push the app to all nodes in the cluster.

Manually install the app on each node using the Splunk Web UI.

In an indexer cluster, what is the primary difference between a peer node and a search head?

Peer nodes replicate data to search heads, while search heads provide the user interface.

Peer nodes store and index data, while search heads coordinate searches and present results.

Peer nodes manage cluster configuration, while search heads store data.

Peer nodes handle user authentication, while search heads manage licensing.

A Splunk environment has a license master and multiple indexers. The administrator notices that the license usage is consistently exceeding the daily quota, causing warnings. What is the most effective way to address this issue?

Reduce the amount of data being indexed by adjusting inputs and filters.

Configure the license master to ignore certain indexers.

Increase the license quota by purchasing additional licenses.

Restart the license master to reset the usage counter.
