A company is planning a single-site indexer cluster with 6 peers. They have a license that covers 500 GB/day. They expect to index 400 GB/day. They want to set replication_factor = 3. What is the impact on licensing?

The license must be increased to cover the replication factor

The license is insufficient because replicated copies count toward the license

The license is sufficient because only the original indexed data counts

The license must be installed on each peer separately

What must a peer node specify in its configuration to join a single-site indexer cluster?

The cluster label and the search factor

The IP address of the search head

The replication port and the master node's URI

A peer node in a single-site indexer cluster has been down for several hours. After the peer is brought back online, the administrator wants to ensure it catches up with any missed data. What should the administrator do?

Nothing; the peer will automatically catch up on restart

Manually copy data from another peer to the recovered peer

Restart the master node to trigger replication

Run splunk rebuild index on the peer

A single-site indexer cluster has 5 peers. The current replication factor is 3 and search factor is 2. The company wants to reduce storage usage by lowering the replication factor to 2. What is the impact of this change?

The cluster will require a restart to apply the new replication factor

The cluster will no longer be searchable if any peer fails

The cluster will automatically increase the search factor to maintain availability

The cluster will be able to survive only 1 peer failure instead of 2
