What are the components of Splunk Architecture?

Question

Can anyone explain the components of Splunk Architecture?

Answer 1

Splunk Architecture has the following three components:

• Splunk Forwarder: This is used to gather and forward the real-time data with less processing power
• Splunk Indexer: This is used for parsing and indexing data so that it is easy to perform search operations.
• Search Head: This is the user interface where the user can retrieve the data based on the keywords

In case you want to learn Splunk, I strongly recommend this Splunk Training program by Intellipaat.
