    Note 1: Dell recommends to provisioning minimum of 12 cores to SVM for Splunk enterprise deployments.     

    Note 2: Splunk Enterprise is a resource-intensive. For best performance, do not overcommit vCPU or memory for Splunk instances. When hyper-threading is enabled, allocate the equivalent number of physical cores.
