A customer's deployment server is overwhelmed with forwarder connections after adding an additional 1000 clients. The default phone home interval is set to 60 seconds. To reduce the number of connection failures to the DS what is recommended?
- A. Leave the phone home interval at 60 seconds.
- B. Increase the phone home interval to 600 seconds.
- C. Create a tiered deployment server topology.
- D. Reduce the phone home interval to 6 seconds.
Answer: B
Explanation:
IE slowing down the phone home time to 10 minutes would slow down the connection collisions.
Third option not here would be to use DNS name for the DS then utilize Round Robin or some other type of Load Balancing to handle connection requests.

A new single-site three indexer cluster is being stood up with replication_factor:2, search_factor:2. At which step would the Indexer Cluster be classed as 'Indexing Ready' and be able to ingest new data?
Step 1: Install and configure Cluster Master (CM)/Master Node with base clustering stanza settings, restarting CM.

Step 5: Install and configure Indexer 2 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle Step 6: Indexer 2 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
Step 7: Install and configure Indexer 3 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle.
Step 8: Indexer 3 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.

NEW QUESTION # 52
Which statement is correct?
- A. In general, search commands that can be distributed to the search peers should occur as early as possible in a well-tuned search.
- B. When trying to reduce a search result to unique elements, the dedup command is the only way to achieve this.
- C. As a streaming command, streamstats performs better than stats since stats is just a reporting command.
- D. Formatting commands such as fieldformat should occur as early as possible in the search to take full advantage of the often larger number of search peers.

NEW QUESTION # 59
When monitoring and forwarding events collected from a file containing unstructured textual events, what is the difference in the Splunk2Splunk payload traffic sent between a universal forwarder (UF) and indexer compared to the Splunk2Splunk payload sent between a heavy forwarder (HF) and the indexer layer?
(Assume that the file is being monitored locally on the forwarder.)
- A. The UF will generally send the payload in the same format, but only when the sourcetype is specified in the inputs.confand EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLEis set to true.
- B. The payload format sent from the UF versus the HF is exactly the same. The payload size is identical because they're both sending 64K chunks.
- C. The HF sends a stream of 64K TCP chunks with one set of metadata fields attached to represent the entire stream, whereas the UF sends individual events, each with their own metadata fields attached.
- D. The UF sends a stream of data containing one set of medata fields to represent the entire stream, whereas the HF sends individual events, each with their own metadata fields attached, resulting in a lager payload.
