Which of the following statements describe search head clustering? (Select all that apply.)
A.
A deployer is required.
B.
At least three search heads are needed.
C.
Search heads must meet the high-performance reference server requirements.
D.
The deployer must have sufficient CPU and network resources to process service requests and push configurations.
The Answer Is:
A, B, D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Search head clustering is a Splunk feature that allows a group of search heads to share configurations, apps, and knowledge objects, and to provide high availability and scalability for searching. Search head clustering has the following characteristics:
A deployer is required. A deployer is a Splunk instance that distributes the configurations and apps to the members of the search head cluster. The deployer is not a member of the cluster, but a separate instance that communicates with the cluster master.
At least three search heads are needed. A search head cluster must have at least three search heads to form a quorum and to ensure high availability. If the cluster has less than three search heads, it cannot function properly and will enter a degraded mode.
The deployer must have sufficient CPU and network resources to process service requests and push configurations. The deployer is responsible for handling the requests from the cluster master and the cluster members, and for pushing the configurations and apps to the cluster members. Therefore, the deployer must have enough CPU and network resources to perform these tasks efficiently and reliably.
Search heads do not need to meet the high-performance reference server requirements, as this is not a mandatory condition for search head clustering. The high-performance reference server requirements are only recommended for optimal performance and scalability of Splunk deployments, but they are not enforced by Splunk.
