license peer

license peer

noun

A Splunk Enterprise instance that communicates with a central license manager to obtain access to Splunk Enterprise features. A license peer that indexes data also receives an allocated license volume.

The term "license peer" replaces the term "license slave", which is no longer in use. Both terms refer to the same instance type and functionality.
