Are ingestion violations in Splunk Cloud enforced?

Ingestion violations in Splunk Cloud are primarily monitored rather than strictly enforced. This means that while Splunk Cloud keeps track of the amount of data ingested to ensure compliance with the limits defined in the subscription, it does not impose immediate penalties or actions for exceeding those limits. Instead, users receive insights and alerts regarding their ingestion trends, which helps them manage their data usage more effectively.

This monitoring approach allows users to take action to align their data ingestion within the defined limits, rather than facing automatic enforcement measures that could disrupt operations. It emphasizes the importance of being aware of data ingestion patterns and encourages users to optimize and manage their inputs strategically.

The other options suggest various levels of enforcement or exceptions that do not align with Splunk's actual approach to ingestion violations, where the focus is more on providing users with tools and insights for self-regulation rather than strict penalties.
