The guidance Splunk gives for estimating size on for syslog data is 50% of original data size. This divides between files in the index as follows: rawdata is 15%, tsidx is 35%. The rawdata is the compressed version of the original data, which typically takes about 15% of the original data size. The tsidx is the index file that contains the time-series metadata and the inverted index, which typically takes about 35% of the original data size. The total size of the rawdata and the tsidx is about 50% of the original data size. For more information, see [Estimate your storage requirements] in the Splunk documentation.

The splunk edit licenser-localslave command is used to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave. This command will configure the Splunk instance to contact a license master and receive a license from it. This command should be used when the Splunk instance is part of a distributed deployment and needs to share a license pool with other instances. The splunk add licenses command is used to add a license to a Splunk instance, not to convert it to a license slave. The splunk list licenser-slaves command is used to list the license slaves that are connected to a license master, not to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave. The splunk list licenser-localslave command is used to list the license master that a license slave is connected to, not to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave. For more information, see Configure license slaves in the Splunk documentation.

Of the following types of files within an index bucket, the rawdata file type may consume the most disk. The rawdata file type contains the compressed and encrypted raw data that Splunk has ingested. The rawdata file type is usually the largest file type in a bucket, because it stores the original data without any filtering or extraction. The bloom filter file type contains a probabilistic data structure that is used to determine if a bucket contains events that match a given search. The bloom filter file type is usually very small, because it only stores a bit array of hashes. The metadata (.data) file type contains information about the bucket properties, such as the earliest and latest event timestamps, the number of events, and the size of the bucket. The metadata file type is also usually very small, because it only stores a few lines of text. The inverted index (.tsidx) file type contains the time-series index that maps the timestamps and event IDs of the raw data. The inverted index file type can vary in size depending on the number and frequency of events, but it is usually smaller than the rawdata file type

A dedicated deployment server is a Splunk instance that manages the distribution of configuration updates and apps to a set of deployment clients, such as forwarders, indexers, or search heads. A dedicated deployment server should be used when there are more than 50 deployment clients, because this number exceeds the recommended limit for a non-dedicated deployment server. A non-dedicated deployment server is a Splunk instance that also performs other roles, such as indexing or searching. Using a dedicated deployment server can improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of the deployment process. Option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the number of search peers does not affect the need for a dedicated deployment server. Search peers are indexers that participate in a distributed search. Option B is incorrect because the number of apps to deploy does not affect the need for a dedicated deployment server. Apps are packages of configurations and assets that provide specific functionality or views in Splunk. Option D is incorrect because the number of server classes does not affect the need for a dedicated deployment server. Server classes are logical groups of deployment clients that share the same configuration updates and apps12
