Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect — Question 21

What problem does a static captain address for a search head cluster?

Answer options

• A. Prevents network interruption from stopping communication between two sites.
• B. Increased search head cluster resiliency in case the dynamic captain fails.
• C. Recovery of a search head cluster that could not reach consensus.
• D. Faster raft elections and captain replacement when the captain fails.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a static captain ensures that the search head cluster can recover from situations where it fails to reach consensus, which is critical for maintaining cluster stability. Options A, B, and D address different aspects of cluster operations but do not specifically relate to the recovery from consensus issues.
