Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

True or False: If you exceed the daily license quota in a pool, your license will go into violation?

1. True

2. False

3. Only for paid licenses

4. Only after multiple alerts

The correct answer is: False

The statement that exceeding the daily license quota in a pool will not put the license into violation is accurate in a specific context. In Splunk, if you exceed the daily license quota, you may receive warnings, but the licensing model allows a grace period where data can still be ingested without immediate consequences, especially in the context of a rolling 30-day license. This means that while you are alerted to the surplus data consumption, you are not necessarily violating your license right away. However, continued excess can lead to penalties or restrictions over time if not addressed. This grace period is designed to help organizations manage unexpected data bursts without immediate repercussions. The other options suggest conditions or scenarios that do not accurately reflect the operational behavior of Splunk licenses regarding daily quotas and violations. For example, the notion that violations only occur for paid licenses overlooks the structure of how Splunk handles data ingestion across various licensing types, all of which adhere to similar rules around quota management.
