Hi there,

I read the document of Splunk and it said about 3TB/day, but I want to send data ( about 500 TB/day) into Splunk Enterprise.

How many indexers and search heads do I need to install?

How do I configure Splunk for giving this data?

How many resources do I need?

Thanks.

3 Search Heads, 21 Indexers, Total Users: up to 48
2 to 3TB/day
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.3/Capacity/Summaryofperformancerecommendations

Lets assume, 20 indexers can index 3 TB (approx 500/3=165.. 165*20=3300 )
3300 indexers required to index 500TB data per day.

for 500TB per day requirement, you can contact Splunk Sales, they would help you in designing and deployment of this requirement.
