What is Splunk Virtual Compute (SVC)?

SVC is a unit of capabilities that includes CPU, memory, and I/O. Overall SVC usage primarily considers CPU across search and indexing workloads. Splunk deploys infrastructure based on your entitled SVCs.

For more information about the SVC entitlement for your workload-based subscription, see Performance considerations in the Splunk Cloud Platform Service Description. Be sure to view the correct version for your Splunk Cloud Platform deployment version.

Note: If your organization has an ingest-based subscription, the SVC license entitlement metric and suggested thresholds are not applicable to your deployment. To determine the appropriate SVC entitlement for your deployment and to convert your ingest-based subscription to a workload-based subscription, contact your Splunk account representative.
