Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect — Question 14

If a license peer cannot communicate to a license manager for 72 hours or more, what will happen?

Answer options

• A. The license peer is placed in violation, and a warning is generated.
• B. A license warning is generated, and there is no impact to the license peer.
• C. The license peer is placed in violation, and search is blocked.
• D. What happens depends on license type.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when a license peer cannot communicate with the license manager for an extended period, it is considered in violation, leading to a blocking of searches. Options A and B do not accurately reflect the consequences of the communication failure, while D suggests variability that is not applicable in this scenario.
