A Splunk architect is calculating the storage requirement for an index that receives 500GB of raw data per day, with a 30-day retention period and a standard 50% compression ratio. If the raw data volume doubles, how should the retention period be modified to maintain the original storage footprint?
If the raw data volume doubles, to maintain the same storage footprint, the retention period must be halved. Originally, 500GB/day for 30 days with 50% compression yields a certain storage size. Doubling the daily volume to 1000GB/day means you can only retain half as many days f…Read full explanation
An architect is tasked with enabling SmartStore for an indexer cluster. What is the primary requirement for the remote storage backend?
SmartStore requires an S3-compatible object store as the remote storage tier because it uses the S3 API to upload and download bucket data (rawdata and tsidx) to remote storage while keeping only cache and metadata locally. Splunk supports Amazon S3, S3-compatible stores (e.g., M…Read full explanation
What happens to data when a bucket's 'frozenTimePeriodInSecs' is reached?
When a bucket reaches its frozenTimePeriodInSecs, Splunk considers the data frozen. Depending on the index's frozenTimePeriodInSecs and coldToFrozenDir or coldToFrozenScript settings, the bucket is either deleted or archived to a cold storage directory. This is the final stage of…Read full explanation
