Cisco E3A-SK-FS3P-S Splunk Federated Search Standard Entitlement

Federated search supports investigations and operational queries that need visibility beyond a single Splunk deployment. Rather than requiring all relevant data to reside in one local search environment, it provides an entitlement for searching connected data sources through a federated-search workflow. This approach suits environments where data remains distributed across organizational, operational, or administrative boundaries. Cisco E3A-SK-FS3P-S is the EA3 application entitlement designated for federated search with standard searches per day. The standard-search designation is the meaningful differentiator for this entitlement: it identifies the daily search allowance category associated with the federated-search function. It is software licensing, not a physical appliance, interface module, or network device. Use this entitlement where teams need to extend Splunk search activity across connected sources while keeping the search function aligned to the standard searches-per-day designation. Validate the entitlement against the existing Splunk architecture, connected search sources, and required daily-search capacity before assignment. The SKU is intended for environments using federated search as part of their broader Splunk data-access and investigation workflow.
