Splunk SPLK-2002 Exam - Topic 14 Question 115 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-2002 exam
Question #: 115
Topic #: 14
[All SPLK-2002 Questions]

Stakeholders have identified high availability for searchable data as their top priority. Which of the following best addresses this requirement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Increasing the search factor in the cluster will best address the requirement of high availability for searchable data. The search factor determines how many copies of searchable data are maintained by the cluster. A higher search factor means that more indexers can serve the data in case of a failure or a maintenance event. Increasing the replication factor will improve the availability of raw data, but not searchable data. Increasing the number of search heads or CPUs on the indexers will improve the search performance, but not the availability of searchable data. For more information, seeReplication factor and search factorin the Splunk documentation.

Increasing the search factor sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that directly impacts availability. I might be mixing it up with performance.

I'm leaning towards option B, but I feel like I need to double-check how replication affects search performance in high availability scenarios.

I remember a practice question where increasing the number of search heads improved availability, so maybe option C is also a good candidate.

I think increasing the replication factor might be the right choice since it ensures data is available even if one node fails, but I'm not entirely sure.

I've got this! Increasing the replication factor is the way to go. That will ensure that the data is replicated across multiple nodes, improving the overall availability and resilience of the system. I'm feeling good about this one.

Okay, let's see here. Increasing the search factor or the number of search heads doesn't seem directly related to high availability. The replication factor and the number of CPUs on the indexers are more likely to impact availability. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of each option.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The options seem a bit technical, and I'm not entirely confident in my understanding of cluster configurations. I'll have to think this through carefully.
