True or False: If you are installing a Search Head and an Indexer, Splunk requires an admin account on each instance.

True
False
Only on the Indexer
Only on the Search Head

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because when you install a Search Head and an Indexer in Splunk, it is essential to have a dedicated admin account on each instance to manage and configure them properly. The admin account provides the necessary permissions to perform a variety of administrative tasks, including managing users, roles, and indexing configurations, as well as executing searches and data inputs. Having distinct administrative access on both the Search Head and Indexer ensures that you can effectively manage the environments and maintain security. It also aids in distributed search capabilities where the Search Head orchestrates searches across multiple Indexers, making proper management and access controls critical for overall functionality and performance in a Splunk deployment.
