Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect — Question 47

Which of the following is a valid use case that a search head cluster addresses?

Answer options

• A. Provide redundancy in the event a search peer fails.
• B. Increased Search Factor (SF).
• C. Knowledge Object replication.
• D. Search affinity.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a search head cluster is specifically designed to replicate Knowledge Objects among its members, ensuring consistency and availability. Option A is about redundancy related to search peers, which is not the primary function of a search head cluster. Option B refers to an enhancement of the Search Factor, which is not directly addressed by a search head cluster. Option D, while relevant to search processes, does not pertain to the main use case of a search head cluster.
