Question #2 Verified Q&A
A customer has asked for a five-node search head cluster (SHC), but does not have the storage budget to use a replication factor greater than 2. They would like to understand what might happen in terms of the users’ ability to view historic scheduled search results if they log onto a search head<br />
<br />
which doesn’t contain one of the 2 copies of a given search artifact.<br />
<br />
Which of the following statements best describes what would happen in this scenario?
A The user will not be able to see the results of the search until one of the search heads is restarted,<br /> forcing synchronization of all dispatched artifacts across all search heads.
B The user will not be able to see the results of the search until the Splunk administrator issues the apply shcluster-bundle command on the search head deployer, forcing synchronization of all dispatched artifacts across all search heads.
C Because the dispatch folder containing the search results is not present on the search head, the user will not be able to view the search results.
D The search head that the user has logged onto will proxy the required artifact over to itself from a search head that currently holds a copy. A copy will also be replicated from that search head permanently, so it is available for future use.
Correct Answer: The search head that the user has logged onto will proxy the required artifact over to itself from a search head that currently holds a copy. A copy will also be replicated from that search head permanently, so it is available for future use.
