Splunk Exam SPLK-1003 Topic 3 Question 93 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1003 exam

Question #: 93
Topic #: 3

An admin oversees an environment with a 1000 GBI day license. The configuration file

server.conf has strict pool quota=false set. The license is divided into the following three pools, and today's usage is shown on the right-hand column:

Pool License Size Today's usage

X 500 GB/day 100 GB

Y 350 GB/day 400 GB

Z 150 GB/day 300 GB

Given this, which pool(s) are issued warnings?

AAll pools

BZ only

CNone

DY and Z

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

In Splunk Enterprise, when you configure the server.conf file with strict pool quota=false, it means that license pools are allowed to share the total available license quota rather than being restricted to their individually allocated quotas. However, this does not prevent pools from issuing warnings if they exceed their allocated limits.

Given the environment with a 1000 GB/day license split into three pools:

Pool X: 500 GB/day license, 100 GB used

Pool Y: 350 GB/day license, 400 GB used

Pool Z: 150 GB/day license, 300 GB used

Let's analyze the usage:

Pool X is allocated 500 GB/day but has only used 100 GB, well within its limit.

Pool Y is allocated 350 GB/day but has used 400 GB, which exceeds its limit by 50 GB.

Pool Z is allocated 150 GB/day but has used 300 GB, which exceeds its limit by 150 GB.

Even with strict pool quota=false, pools Y and Z have exceeded their individual allocated quotas and will issue warnings. Pool X has not exceeded its quota and thus will not issue any warnings. Therefore, the pools that are issued warnings are Y and Z.

Ooh, this one's tricky. I think the correct answer is D, Y and Z. Pool X's usage is within its limit, but Y and Z are over, so they'll get the warnings. I hope the exam grader has a good sense of humor!

I see your point, but I still think the answer is D, Y and Z. Pool X might be within its limit, but both Y and Z are over theirs.

I'm not sure about that, I think the answer might be B, Z only. Pool Y is definitely over its limit, but Pool X seems to be within its limit.

I agree, I also think the answer is D, Y and Z. Pool X seems to be fine, but Y and Z are definitely over their limits.

It's definitely a tricky situation. Y and Z are the ones issued warnings, according to the configuration file.

I think the admin should keep a closer eye on pool Y and Z. They're the ones exceeding their limits.

I agree, Y and Z are the ones in trouble. Pool X seems to be doing fine.

Hmm, let's see. With a 1000 GB/day license and strict pool quota set to false, I'd say the warning would go to Y and Z since their usage exceeds their respective pool sizes. Easy peasy, just like my grandma's apple pie!
