Which aspect does the maxQueueSize limit apply to in the Universal Forwarder?

Disk space usage
Memory usage
Network bandwidth
CPU processing power

The correct answer is: Memory usage

The maxQueueSize limit in the Universal Forwarder pertains specifically to memory usage. This setting determines the maximum amount of memory that the Universal Forwarder can utilize for buffering incoming log data before it’s sent to the destination Splunk instance. By constraining this memory allocation, the forwarder can optimize system performance and stability. If the queued data exceeds this defined limit, it can lead to potential data loss, as the forwarder may drop incoming data if it reaches the maximum queue size, impacting data ingestion continuity. The other options do not accurately describe the focus of the maxQueueSize limit. Disk space usage relates to the storage allocated for storing logs, network bandwidth refers to the data transmission capabilities over the network, and CPU processing power entails the computational capabilities necessary to process data but is not directly influenced by the maxQueueSize setting in the context of the Universal Forwarder.
