How does the License Master handle the data indexed during a license violation?

It marks the data as 'violation' and includes it in license usage reports.

It deletes the violating data from the indexers to free up space.

It quarantines the data and makes it inaccessible to search.

It moves the data to a separate 'violation' index.

A Splunk administrator has just configured a new indexer peer to join an existing cluster. The peer is not reporting license usage to the License Master. The administrator has verified that the peer can reach the License Master on the management port. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

The License Master's license pool is full and is rejecting new slaves.

The peer's `inputs.conf` is not configured to forward license usage data.

The cluster master is blocking the peer from communicating with the License Master.

The peer is not configured as a license slave; the `[license]` stanza is missing or the `splunk edit licenser-localslave` command was not run.

How do you connect a cluster peer to a License Master?

Run the 'splunk add license' command on the peer.

Add the peer's hostname to the License Master's inputs.conf file.

Copy the license file to the peer's etc/licenses directory.

Set the License Master's hostname in the peer's server.conf [license] stanza.

A Splunk administrator is configuring a new indexer peer to join a cluster. The administrator has already run `splunk edit licenser-localslave -master_uri https:// :8089` on the peer. What is the next step to ensure the peer is properly connected to the License Master?

Restart the peer to apply the license slave configuration.

Add the peer to the cluster master's `server.conf` to enable license reporting.

Verify the peer's `license.conf` file contains the `[license]` stanza with the correct `master_uri`.

Run `splunk restart` on the License Master to accept the new slave.

Which Splunk app or view provides a graphical dashboard for monitoring license usage across the cluster?
