A: Data Retention:
* The data retention period is critical for sizing Splunk environments as it determines how much data needs to be stored and for how long. This affects storage capacity planning and resource allocation.
E: Concurrent Search Users:
* The number of concurrent search users impacts the performance requirements of the Splunk environment. Higher concurrency requires more resources to handle the load efficiently, affecting CPU and memory sizing.
