Splunk Architect Exam Questions and
Answers 100% Solved | Graded A+
Which of the following will cause the greatest reduction in disk size
requirements for a cluster of N indexers running Splunk Enterprise
Security?
A. Setting the Cluster search factor to N-1
B. Increasing the number of buckets per index
C. Decreasing the data model acceleration range
D. Setting the cluster replication factor to N-1 - ✔✔A
Replicated copies of non-searchable data are smaller than copies of
searchable data, because they include only the data and not the associated
index files.
Stakeholders have identified high availability for searchable data as their
top priority. Which of the following best addresses this requirement?

A. Increasing the search factor in the cluster
B. Increasing the replication factor in the cluster
C. Increasing the number of search heads in the cluster
D. Increasing the number of CPUs on the indexers in the cluster - ✔✔A
Only increasing the search factor will effect searchable data.
Increasing the replication factor will not effect the searchable data because
it replicates non-searchable data.
Increasing the search heads / CPUs will only benefit SH-Cluster
performance.
Search dashboards in the Monitoring Console indicate that the distributed
deployment is approaching its capacity. Which of the following options will
provide the most search performance improvement?
A. Replace the indexer storage to solid state drives (SSD).
B. Add more search heads and redistribute users based on the search
type.
C. Look for slow searches and reschedule them to run during an off-peak
time.

D. Add more search peers and make sure forwarders distribute data evenly
across all indexers. - ✔✔D
Most search performance issues can be addressed by adding additional
search peers (indexers)
A Splunk architect has inherited the Splunk deployment at Buttercup
Games and end users are complaining that the events are inconsistently
formatted for a web sourcetype. Further investigation reveals that not all
web logs flow through the same infrastructure: some of the data goes
through heavy forwarders and some of the forwarders are managed by
another department.
Which of the following items might be the cause for this issue?
A. The search head may have different configurations than the indexers.
B. The data inputs are not properly configured across all the forwarders.
C. The indexers may have different configurations than the heavy
forwarders.
D. The forwarders managed by the other department are an older version
than the rest. - ✔✔C
