Question 1

A customer has asked for a five-node search head cluster (SHC), but does not have the storage budget to

use a replication factor greater than 2. They would like to understand what might happen in terms of the

users’ ability to view historic scheduled search results if they log onto a search head which doesn’t contain

one of the 2 copies of a given search artifact.

Which of the following statements best describes what would happen in this scenario?

A : search head that the user has logged onto will proxy the required artifact over to itself from a search head that currently holds a copy. A copy will also be replicated from that search head permanently, so it is available for future use.

B : cause the dispatch folder containing the search results is not present on the search head, the user will not be able to view the search results.

C : user will not be able to see the results of the search until one of the search heads is restarted, forcing synchronization of all dispatched artifacts across all search heads.

D : user will not be able to see the results of the search until the Splunk administrator issues the apply shcluster-bundle command on the search head deployer, forcing synchronization of all dispatched artifacts across all search heads.

Answer: A

Question 2

When setting up a multisite search head and indexer cluster, which nodes are required to declare site membership?

A : arch head cluster members, deployer, indexers, cluster master

B : arch head cluster members, deployment server, deployer, indexers, cluster master

C : l splunk nodes, including forwarders, must declare site membership

D : arch head cluster members, indexers, cluster master

Answer: D

Question 3

An index receives approximately 50GB of data per day per indexer at an even and consistent rate. The

customer would like to keep this data searchable for a minimum of 30 days. In addition, they have hourly

scheduled searches that process a week’s worth of data and are quite sensitive to search performance.

Given ideal conditions (no restarts, nor drops/bursts in data volume), and following PS best practices, which

of the following sets of indexes.conf settings can be leveraged to meet the requirements?

A : ozenTimePeriodInSecs, maxDataSize, maxVolumeDataSizeMB, maxHotBuckets

B : xDataSize, maxTotalDataSizeMB, maxHotBuckets, maxGlobalDataSizeMB

C : xDataSize, frozenTimePeriodInSecs, maxVolumeDataSizeMB

D : ozenTimePeriodInSecs, maxWarmDBCount, homePath.maxDataSizeMB, maxHotSpanSecs

Answer: B

Question 4

A customer has a multisite cluster (two sites, each site in its own data center) and users experiencing a

slow response when searches are run on search heads located in either site. The Search Job Inspector

shows the delay is being caused by search heads on either site waiting for results to be returned by

indexers on the opposing site. The network team has confirmed that there is limited bandwidth available

between the two data centers, which are in different geographic locations.

Which of the following would be the least expensive and easiest way to improve search performance?

A : nfigure site_search_factor to ensure a searchable copy exists in the local site for each search head.

B : ve all indexers and search heads in one of the data centers into the same site.

C : tall a network pipe with more bandwidth between the two data centers.

D : t the site setting on each indexer in the server.conf clustering stanza to be the same for all indexers regardless of site.

Answer: A

Question 5

What is the Splunk PS recommendation when using the deployment server and building deployment apps?

A : refully design smaller apps with specific configuration that can be reused.

B : ly deploy Splunk PS base configurations via the deployment server.

C : $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local configurations on forwarders and only deploy TAs via the deployment server.

D : refully design bigger apps containing multiple configs.

Answer: B
