Will it affect performance, and are there any alternative methods of encryptions that Splunk suggest? </P> Tue, 30 Jul 2019 19:23:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Vormatic-For-encryption/m-p/410759#M74014 nouh_hussein 2019-07-30T19:23:11Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Vormatic-For-encryption/m-p/410760#M74015 <P>"encryption on the Splunk servers" meaning, data from forwarders to indexer encryption ah?!?!

This is handles by the OS, and Splunk isnt aware of it. This is true for all encryption at REST solutions.</P> <P>The only considerations here are that there is overhead required for encryption / decryption on your disks. Splunk Cloud used to use vormetric for encryption at rest service and we found around 10% to 20% overhead when compared to indexers not using vormetric. So be aware of this when sizing...</P> Wed, 31 Jul 2019 06:33:38 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Vormatic-For-encryption/m-p/410761#M74016 esix_splunk 2019-07-31T06:33:38Z
