Choose the right perspective
Match the person to the problem: platform scaling and upgrade questions suit people who describe installing and running indexers and search heads, while dashboard and use-case questions suit those focused on development and content. Check role dates so that questions about current Splunk versions go to someone working with Splunk now.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you size and scale indexers and search heads as daily ingest grew, and what would you do differently?
- 02How do you control license and storage costs while still onboarding the data that teams ask for?
- 03What does your upgrade and change process look like for a production Splunk environment?
