A : frozenTimePeriodInSecs, maxDataSize, maxVolumeDataSizeMB, maxHotBuckets

B : maxDataSize, maxTotalDataSizeMB, maxHotBuckets, maxGlobalDataSizeMB

C : maxDataSize, frozenTimePeriodInSecs, maxVolumeDataSizeMB

D : frozenTimePeriodInSecs, maxWarmDBCount, homePath.maxDataSizeMB, maxHotSpanSecs

Answer: B

Question 4

A customer has the following Splunk instances within their environment: An indexer cluster consisting of a

cluster master/master node and five clustered indexers, two search heads (no search head clustering), a

own single-purpose instances. The customer would like to start using the Monitoring Console (MC) to

monitor the whole environment.

On the MC instance, which instances will need to be configured as distributed search peers by specifying

them via the UI using the settings menu?

A : Just the cluster master/master node.

B : Indexers, search heads, deployment server, license master, cluster master/master node.

C : Search heads, deployment server, license master, cluster master/master node

D : Deployment server, license master

Answer: C

B : Create a new role with the output_file capability that inherits the default user role and assign it to the users.

C : Edit the default user role and remove the output_file capability.

D : Clone the default user role, remove the output_file capability, and assign it to the users.
