Which type of data does not count toward your daily license quota?

Real-time data
Summary indexes
Web logs
User-generated data

The correct answer is: Summary indexes

Summary indexes are specifically designed to store summarized data, which is generated from the results of searches. These indexes are especially useful for improving performance and efficiency, as they allow users to run complex searches without repeatedly processing the raw data. In Splunk, the data that resides in summary indexes does not contribute to the daily license quota, making it a valuable feature for efficient data management. Real-time data, web logs, and user-generated data all contribute to the license quota because they reflect the actual volume of data being ingested into Splunk during a specified time period. This aspect is crucial for organizations that need to manage their licensing costs while also ensuring that they can still operate effectively on the Splunk platform. The exclusion of summary indexes from the license calculation allows organizations to benefit from high-level analysis without incurring additional costs related to data ingestion.
