Hmm, that's an interesting perspective. I can see how that method could also work well for sizing a search head cluster.

I disagree, I believe option D) Estimate the maximum concurrent number of searches and divide by the number of CPU cores per search head is the way to go.

I personally think option B) Estimate the total number of searches per day and divide by the number of CPU cores available on the search heads makes the most sense.

Haha, C is just ridiculous. Might as well just roll a dice to determine the number of search heads.

Hey, I was going to pick C, but that sounds like a total guess. Dividing indexers by 3? What kind of magic number is that?
