Which search command is used to view license usage data from the _internal index?

index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd component=LicenseUsage

index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd license_usage

index=_internal sourcetype=license_master

index=_internal sourcetype=splunk_license_usage

A Splunk architect is planning a multi-site cluster with two indexer sites. The License Master is in Site A. The architect wants to ensure that if the License Master in Site A fails, the Site B indexers can continue to index data. The architect has a budget for one additional License Master. What is the most effective way to provide this redundancy?

Deploy a second License Master in Site B and configure the Site B indexers to point to it, with a DNS failover mechanism to switch if Site A's License Master is unreachable.

Use the cluster master in Site B as a License Master and have the Site B indexers report to it.

Have the Site B indexers point to the Site A License Master over a WAN link and rely on the primary's license.

Configure the Site B indexers to use a local license file and not report to any License Master.

What must be done to all cluster nodes after promoting a secondary License Master?

Restart all nodes to ensure they re-register with the new License Master.

Copy the new license file to each node's local license directory.

Re-index all data to ensure the new License Master has accurate usage data.

Update the [license] master setting in server.conf on each node to point to the new License Master.

A Splunk administrator notices that the daily license usage for a cluster has been steadily increasing over the past week. The administrator needs to identify which specific indexers are contributing the most to the usage spike. Where should the administrator look to get this information?

Review the `metrics.log` on the cluster master to see which peers are reporting the highest indexing volume.

Check the `splunkd.log` on each indexer peer for the `license_usage` stanza to see individual usage counts.

Use the `splunk list license-usage` command on any search head to see the aggregated cluster usage.

Run a search against the `_internal` index on the License Master for the `license_usage.log` source and group by the `pool` or `slave` field.
