topic Splunk 5 clusters in Deployment Architecture https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Splunk-5-clusters/m-p/44356#M1306 <P>I've heard that splunk 5 clusters do not work well when the nodes are separated over distances (like a WAN). Why is that? Would it make a difference to the cluster if we had a high speed connection (line 100mbps) between two data centers? What are other limitations to clustering across multiple data centers?</P> Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:16:16 GMT DTERM 2013-02-26T20:16:16Z Splunk 5 clusters https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Splunk-5-clusters/m-p/44356#M1306 <P>I've heard that splunk 5 clusters do not work well when the nodes are separated over distances (like a WAN).

However, in the current version of Splunk, the cluster is not site-aware. For example, in a scenario where you have peer nodes spread across two data centers, you cannot specify that one replicated copy of the cluster data reside on nodes in one data center and a second copy reside on nodes in a second data center. When the master determines how some set of data gets replicated across the cluster, it does not take peer location into consideration."</P> Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:30:28 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Splunk-5-clusters/m-p/44357#M1307 ChrisG 2013-02-26T20:30:28Z Re: Splunk 5 clusters https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Splunk-5-clusters/m-p/44358#M1308 <P>Have you gotten to test it yet? If so, what was your experience?</P> Tue, 28 May 2013 18:54:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Splunk-5-clusters/m-p/44358#M1308 kristian_kolb 2013-05-28T18:54:00Z
