A peer in your indexer cluster is down. Using the Monitoring Console, what is the FIRST step you would take to begin troubleshooting this issue?

Check the 'Search Factor' dashboard to see if searches are failing

Review the 'Replication Lag' dashboard to see if other peers are catching up

Check the 'Peer Status' dashboard to confirm the peer is down and view any related error messages

Immediately restart the peer from the Monitoring Console

A cluster administrator sees in the Monitoring Console that the 'Search Factor Violations' metric is non-zero for several buckets. What does this indicate about the cluster?

The cluster master is down, so the cluster cannot process searches.

The cluster is replicating data too slowly, causing search results to be stale.

The search heads are not connected to the cluster, so searches are failing.

Some buckets do not have the required number of searchable copies, which may affect search performance and availability.

An administrator has enabled the Monitoring Console and wants to ensure that the dashboards reflect the correct environment. They have multiple indexer clusters. What should they do to view a specific cluster's health?

Create a new Monitoring Console instance for each cluster.

Use the cluster selection dropdown on the Monitoring Console dashboards to choose the desired cluster.

Edit the dashboards to hardcode the cluster name in the searches.

Restart the Monitoring Console app to refresh the cluster list.

Which of the following is a key capability of the Monitoring Console specifically relevant to an indexer cluster environment?

Creating and managing Splunk apps on all cluster members

Directly editing the server.conf file on all cluster peers simultaneously

Performing a rolling restart of all cluster peers with a single click

Viewing the status of peers, master, and search heads from a single interface
