Installation and Configuration

An administrator is preparing one search head before installing ES. What are the reference minimum OS, CPU, and RAM requirements for that machine?

  • A OS: 32 bit, RAM: 16 MB, CPU: 12 cores
  • B OS: 64 bit, RAM: 32 MB, CPU: 12 cores
  • C OS: 64 bit, RAM: 12 MB, CPU: 16 cores
  • D OS: 64 bit, RAM: 32 MB, CPU: 16 cores
Explanation

Splunk Enterprise Security reference hardware requires a 64-bit operating system on search heads, with 32 GB of RAM and 16 CPU cores. The supplied option D is the intended match, although its RAM unit is displayed as MB rather than the documented GB.
