A search head cluster is experiencing slow KV Store write performance. The administrator suspects that the KV Store is not using enough memory. Which monitoring command or setting should be used to verify memory usage?

Check the 'kvstore.log' for memory-related errors.

Check the 'splunkd.log' for memory warnings.

Run the 'show kvstore' command in Splunk CLI.

Use the 'rest /services/kvstore/status' endpoint to view memory usage.

What happens when a write conflict occurs in a KV Store collection within a search head cluster?

The most recent write wins based on timestamp

The KV Store captain manually resolves the conflict

The write is rejected and the client must retry

The conflicting writes are merged into a single record

A search head cluster has three members. A KV Store collection is configured with a replication factor of 2. The administrator needs to perform a rolling upgrade of the members. What is the impact on KV Store data availability during the upgrade?

Data is unavailable during the upgrade because the replication factor is too low.

Data is unavailable until the upgrade is complete.

Data remains available because at least one member with the data is always online.

Data is available only if the captain is not being upgraded.

Which Splunk command or view is used to monitor the status of KV Store replication in a search head cluster?

The KV Store status page in Monitoring Console

The `cluster` command in Splunk Web

The `search` command with `index=_internal`

The `splunk list kvstore` CLI command

An administrator is configuring a KV Store collection in a search head cluster. The collection will store a large amount of data that is frequently read but rarely written. The administrator wants to optimize read performance. Which setting should be configured in the collection definition?

Set the 'cache_size' to a higher value.

Set the 'replication_factor' to a higher value.

Set the 'max_mem_usage' to a lower value.
