Splunk Vcpu licensing

Hello,

Apologies as this has probably been asked before. With the Splunk vCPU licensing is the license per cluster or VM. For example if you have a 24 vCPU license is this the CPU usage allowance for the whole cluster or 24 vCPU per VM?

@L_Petch

The total vCPU count across all Splunk Enterprise count towards the vCPU licensed capacity. If you have a 24 vCPU license, this means that the combined total of vCPUs assigned to all your Splunk Enterprise instances should not exceed 24. This is not a per-VM allocation but an aggregate limit across your deployment.

please refer to Splunk's official documentation on How Splunk Enterprise licensing works - Splunk Documentation
