[All SPLK-3002 Questions]

Which of the following are deployment recommendations for ITSI? (Choose all that apply.)

ADeployments often require an increase of hardware resources above base Splunk requirements.

BDeployments require a dedicated ITSI search head.

CDeployments may increase the number of required indexers based on the number of KPI searches.

DDeployments should use fastest possible disk arrays for indexers.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B, C

You might need to increase the hardware specifications of your own Enterprise Security deployment above the minimum hardware requirements depending on your environment.

Install Splunk Enterprise Security on a dedicated search head or search head cluster.

The Splunk platform uses indexers to scale horizontally. The number of indexers required in an Enterprise Security deployment varies based on the data volume, data type, retention requirements, search type, and search concurrency.

A, B, and C are correct answers because ITSI deployments often require more hardware resources than base Splunk requirements due to the high volume of data ingestion and processing. ITSI deployments also require a dedicated search head that runs the ITSI app and handles all ITSI-related searches and dashboards. ITSI deployments may also increase the number of required indexers based on the number and frequency of KPI searches, which can generate a large amount of summary data.

I thought we could manage with the base resources, but I guess not?

B and C are spot on, but A seems a bit much.

Wait, do we really need a dedicated search head for ITSI?

I vaguely remember something about using fast disk arrays for indexers, so option D sounds familiar, but I can't be certain.

I feel like option C makes sense since more KPI searches could mean more indexers are needed, but I can't recall if that's always the case.

I remember practicing a question that mentioned needing a dedicated search head for ITSI, so I think option B might be correct.

I think option A is definitely a recommendation, but I'm not sure about the specifics of hardware requirements for ITSI.

I remember something about needing a dedicated ITSI search head, but I can't recall the other details. Guess I'll have to make an educated guess.

I bet the Splunk engineers had a lot of fun coming up with these options. 'How can we make ITSI deployment as complicated as possible?'

Haha, this question is a trick! You need all of those things - A, B, C, and D. ITSI is a resource-hungry beast.

I agree with Glenna. Deployment recommendations are all about scaling up your hardware to support ITSI. B is key too - you need a dedicated search head.
