## Limitations

Splunk Enterprise's implementation of the http event collection server responds to the client with a status code 200 and fails to commit the events to disk during a rolling restart. In our testing, 20-30 events per indexer are lost.

## Guidance on sizing hardware

The following reference deployment hardware specifications are based on Splunk performance testing results in AWS
The overall load on your deployment HW will vary based on the percentage of events which are not handled by a filter or
custom filters added not accounted for here. While we consider the following conservative actual hardware performance will vary
The overall load on your deployment hardware will vary based on the percentage of events not handled by a filter or use of
exceptionally complex regex in filters. While we consider the following conservative actual hardware performance will vary
due to network interface card, driver, kernel version, exact CPU even type of memory and configuration. SYSLOG is a fire
and forget protocol making it sensitive to performance. Given this it is highly recommended you should validate
performance with your hardware and production data samples. The syslog-ng loggen tool available in the SC4S container
