Hi Splunkers,

I'm considering about splunk system on two servers.

What type of architectures can you think ?

Requirements for this system are followings.

  • No data duplications
  • Need to redundancy for application and hardware issues
  • One server is primary, another secondary (Generally Active-Stanby configuration)

We'll get data into Splunk with NFS mount of syslog server on splunk server.
Thank you for your help.

Splunk's way of creating redundancy between indexers is clustering: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.1/Indexer/Aboutclusters

For redundancy between search heads Splunk comes with search head pooling: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.1/DistSearch/Configuresearchheadpooling

Thank you, martin_mueller.
But splunk clustering needs more than 3 servers(IDX*3, SH*2, Master)....
