What is the default bandwidth for a Universal Forwarder?

  1. 128 KBps

  2. 256 KBps

  3. 512 KBps

  4. 1024 KBps

The correct answer is: 256 KBps

The default bandwidth for a Universal Forwarder is set at 256 KBps. This setting is important as it helps regulate the amount of data being transferred to the Splunk indexers, ensuring that network resources are managed efficiently and do not become congested. By defining this limit, a Universal Forwarder can balance the need to send data in a timely manner while preventing excessive load on the network or the receiving systems. The 256 KBps figure is considered a good compromise for many environments, as it allows for substantial data transmission without overwhelming the network's capacity. Other bandwidth settings, whether lower or higher, can be adjusted based on organizational needs, network performance, or other factors, but the default of 256 KBps is established to provide a reliable baseline for new installations.
