What occurs if the forwarder to indexer connection is lost?

  1. Splunk will lose the input data

  2. Data input will pause indefinitely

  3. Splunk will queue the input data

  4. Splunk will delete the input data

The correct answer is: Splunk will queue the input data

When the connection between the forwarder and the indexer is lost, Splunk employs a queuing mechanism to ensure that data is not immediately lost. The forwarder temporarily stores the data in a queue, allowing it to continue collecting and buffering data until the connection to the indexer is reestablished. Once the connection is restored, the buffered data in the queue is sent to the indexer for processing. This approach is vital for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that data is not lost during transient connection issues between the forwarder and the indexer. The queuing strategy allows for resilience in data collection, so users can trust that their data is safe even in the event of connectivity problems.
