On latest version 8.0.2, if license master is down will search work or it will wait for 72 hours & then stop?

Hi @BRG 

Edit by mod to point to latest documentation:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutlicenseviolations#Violations_due_to_b...

 

 

if a license slave cannot reach the license master for 72 hours or more, the slave is in violation and search is blocked. A violation still allows indexing to continue. Users can not search the slave in violation until the slave reconnects with the master.
