Which parameter would you modify to limit the data throughput on a forwarder?

To limit the data throughput on a forwarder, the parameter that should be modified is maxKBps. This parameter specifically controls the maximum kilobytes per second that the forwarder is allowed to send. By configuring maxKBps, administrators can manage data sending rates, which is important in environments where bandwidth is a concern or where it is necessary to prevent flooding a receiving indexer with too much data at once.

This setting plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal performance and ensuring that other applications or services running on the same network are not adversely affected by heavy data transmission. Adjusting maxKBps allows for fine-tuning the flow of data according to the network capabilities and the organization’s data management policies.
