I have sent your query over to two friends of mine who work for Splunk. Thanks
Webster From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christopher Bodnar Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 2:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] splunk question Any Splunk gurus out there? I'm new to the product, but have been asked to look over a proposed architecture. As I'm reading through the documentation I've read about "clusters". The guy that put together the architecture for us, says we don't need a cluster. That all of the HA and fail over capabilities are built in. To me that didn't seem right, considering how much their documentation talks about clustering. Initial config is to include: (2) Search heads (7) Indexers (1) deployment server So the question is don't we need a cluster for HA?
