Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1003 exam
Question #: 98
Topic #: 9
[All SPLK-1003 Questions]

Search heads in a company's European offices need to be able to search data in their New York offices. They also need to restrict access to certain indexers. What should be configured to allow this type of action?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C. Distributed search is the feature that allows search heads in a company's European offices to search data in their New York offices. Distributed search also enables restricting access to certain indexers by using the splunk_server field or the server.conf file1.

Distributed search is a way to scale your Splunk deployment by separating the search management and presentation layer from the indexing and search retrieval layer. With distributed search, a Splunk instance called a search head sends search requests to a group of indexers, or search peers, which perform the actual searches on their indexes. The search head then merges the results back to the user2.

Distributed search has several use cases, such as horizontal scaling, access control, and managing geo-dispersed data. For example, users in different offices can search data across the enterprise or only in their local area, depending on their needs and permissions2.

The other options are incorrect because:

A) Indexer clustering is a feature that replicates data across a group of indexers to ensure data availability and recovery. Indexer clustering does not directly affect distributed search, although search heads can be configured to search across an indexer cluster3.

B) LDAP control is a feature that allows Splunk to integrate with an external LDAP directory service for user authentication and role mapping. LDAP control does not affect distributed search, although it can be used to manage user access to data and searches.

D) Search head clustering is a feature that distributes the search workload across a group of search heads that share resources, configurations, and jobs. Search head clustering does not affect distributed search, although the search heads in a cluster can search across the same set of indexers.

Haha, imagine if the answer was A) Indexer clustering. That would be like trying to herd cats across the Atlantic!

Hmm, LDAP control might work for the access restrictions, but I'm not sure it covers the cross-office searching. I'd go with C) Distributed search.

I'm not sure, but I think D) Search head clustering could also work to allow search heads in European offices to search data in New York.

D) Search head clustering seems like the way to go here. That would allow the search heads to work together and access the data they need.

I think the answer is C) Distributed search. It allows the search heads in Europe to search data in the New York offices.

LDAP control is more for authentication, not for searching data across offices.

Indexer clustering wouldn't allow search heads in Europe to search data in New York.

I agree with Jeff. Distributed search allows search heads in different locations to search data from other offices.
