Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect Practice Test

What is the default log size for Splunk internal logs?

1. 10MB

2. 20 MB

3. 25MB

4. 30MB

The correct answer is: 25MB

The default log size for Splunk internal logs is set to 25MB. This configuration helps manage the storage and performance of the Splunk environment by ensuring that log files do not grow excessively large. A size limit of 25MB is a balanced decision, allowing adequate space for capturing significant amounts of logging information while still keeping individual log files manageable. When logs reach this size, the oldest data will be rolled over and archived, making sure that the most relevant and recent logs are readily available for analysis and monitoring. This default setting can typically be modified in the configuration files if a user needs different limits based on their specific environment requirements, but it serves as a baseline for most deployments.
