If you currently have a 500GB/day Splunk license but need 750GB/day, what should you do?

  1. Contact Splunk Sales and purchase a 750GB license

  2. Contact Splunk Sales and purchase a 250GB license

  3. Wait for Splunk to contact after repeated violations

  4. There is no need to upgrade the license

The correct answer is: Contact Splunk Sales and purchase a 250GB license

In this scenario, the appropriate step when dealing with a need for an increased data ingestion limit is to reach out to Splunk Sales to purchase a license that meets the new requirements. The correct option emphasizes upgrading to a 750GB/day license to accommodate your increased data volume. Purchasing an additional 250GB license would not fulfill the total need of 750GB/day since it would only bring your total allowance to 750GB/day when combined with the current 500GB/day license. This misunderstanding highlights the importance of purchasing a license that fulfills the complete requirement instead of only compensating for the shortfall, which is crucial for staying compliant with your licensing agreement. The other options do not effectively address the requirement for compliance and proper data management. Waiting for Splunk to contact you after violations is not advisable, as it could lead to penalties and increased risks regarding data accessibility and system performance. Similarly, operating without upgrading the license when usage exceeds limits can lead to significant disruption of services and compliance issues. Therefore, reaching out for the correct new license is the right path to take in this situation.
