A quarantined search peer is allowed to perform which of the following actions?

Performing new searches
Service currently running searches
Perform both new and current searches
None of the above

The correct answer is: Service currently running searches

A quarantined search peer is in a state where it is separated from the rest of the search cluster due to issues such as performance degradation or integrity problems. The quarantine measure allows Splunk to maintain the overall health of the search cluster while preventing the problematic peer from affecting other peers. While in quarantine, the search peer is not allowed to perform any new searches, as this could exacerbate existing issues within the cluster. However, it is permitted to service currently running searches that were initiated before the quarantine status was applied. This means it can continue to provide results for searches that are already in progress, ensuring that any ongoing user requests are fulfilled to the best extent possible. Options suggesting that it can perform new searches or both new and current searches do not align with the quarantine policies in place to manage search peers responsibly. This ensures stability and performance across the remaining healthy peers in the cluster. Thus, the ability to service currently running searches is the only permissible action for a quarantined search peer.
