What is one limitation of the Splunk Basic Deployment?

  1. Indexing more than 50GB per day

  2. Over 40 users

  3. More than 10 forwarders

  4. Indexing less than 20GB per day

The correct answer is: Indexing less than 20GB per day

The choice indicating that a limitation of the Splunk Basic Deployment is indexing less than 20GB per day is insightful because, in fact, the Splunk Basic Deployment is designed to support small-scale environments with specific constraints. One critical limitation is its capability to index a maximum of 500 MB per day. Considering the context of the other options, the Splunk Basic Deployment is indeed not limited to over 50GB, which is well beyond what it can handle. It can also support more than 40 users in various configurations, and while having a few forwarders is common in setups, the amount can vary based on the deployment strategy. Thus, it’s essential to clarify that it is not about limiting indexing to under 20GB but rather under 500 MB, making your answer reflect an important aspect of Splunk's limitations in a Basic Deployment scenario.
