When do Splunk license alerts get triggered?

When a new user account is created
When data indexing exceeds the allocated daily quota
On a weekly basis regardless of usage
During off-peak hours only

The correct answer is: When data indexing exceeds the allocated daily quota

The correct answer relates to Splunk's licensing model, which monitors the amount of data indexed on a daily basis. License alerts are specifically designed to trigger when the data indexing exceeds the allocated daily quota, ensuring that users are aware of their usage and can take necessary actions to remain compliant with their licensing agreement. This monitoring mechanism is essential for maintaining efficient resource management and budgeting for data storage and processing costs. The other options do not align with how Splunk's licensing alerts function. For instance, the creation of new user accounts does not impact the indexing volume, thus it does not trigger license alerts. Additionally, license alerts are not set to trigger on a fixed weekly schedule since they are directly tied to daily indexing activities. Finally, the time of day—whether during peak or off-peak hours—does not influence the triggering of license alerts, as these alerts are based solely on the total amount of data indexed within a defined period relative to the license limits.
