A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An administrator asks what the licence measures when event data is ingested. What does Splunk say?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
Measuring before compression means the number is about what you sent, not how well it stored. It also means anything dropped before that point never counts, which makes filtering a licensing lever.
Why D
Splunk states that when ingesting event data the measured volume is based on the raw data placed into the indexing pipeline, and not on the amount of compressed data written to disk.
