Here are the basic steps for setting up a new deployment.  Build your Deployment Server first through step 8.  You can use the WebUI on the Deployment server to upload your license file.  Build your indexers, heavy forwarders, & search head with the same steps adding items 9-13.  Be sure you also configure your Deployment server with your indexes, SSL, and forward the internal logs to your indexers.  These steps were done on Ubuntu so commands may vary slightly on other *nix flavors.  You may have other ways (systemd) to do some of the *nix admin such as the limits and THP.   login via cli & elevate to root increase system limits   vi /etc/security/limits.conf * hard nofile 64000 * hard nproc 16000 * hard fsize -1   disable THP https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/transparent-huge-pages/ System V Init (service)   vi /etc/init.d/disable-transparent-hugepages #!/bin/bash ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: disable-transparent-hugepages # Required-Start: $local_fs # Required-Stop: # X-Start-Before: splunk # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Disable Linux transparent huge pages ### END INIT INFO echo 'never' | tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled > /dev/null echo 'never' | tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag > /dev/null chmod 755 /etc/init.d/disable-transparent-hugepages /etc/init.d/disable-transparent-hugepages start update-rc.d disable-transparent-hugepages defaults   reboot, login, & elevate to root create the splunk user   useradd -m splunk   install splunk & configure to run as non-root "splunk" user at system boot   cd /opt wget -O splunk-9.0.4.1-419ad9369127-Linux-x86_64.tgz "https://download.splunk.com/products/splunk/releases/9.0.4.1/linux/splunk-9.0.4.1-419ad9369127-Linux-x86_64.tgz" tar zxfv splunk-9.0.4.1-419ad9369127-Linux-x86_64.tgz chown -R splunk:splunk /opt/splunk /opt/splunk/bin/splunk enable boot-start -user splunk   reboot, login, & elevate t root verify configs https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/RESTREF/RESTintrospect   ulimit -a cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag ps -ef | grep splunk   switch to splunk user   su - splunk   add deploymentclient.conf   vi /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/deploymentclient.conf [deployment-client] [target-broker:deploymentServer] targetUri = https://deploymentserver.yourdomain.com:8089   add the Splunk license, restart Splunk, & check licensing   /opt/splunk/bin/splunk edit licenser-localpeer -manager_uri 'https://deploymentserver.yourdomain.com:8089' /opt/splunk/bin/splunk restart /opt/splunk/bin/splunk list licenser-localpeer   add to appropriate Deployment Server Class(es) & deploy appropriate apps enable (SH, HF, DS) or disable (indexers) the WebUI enable cooked Splunk port 9997 inputs on the indexers forward _* internal logs to the indexers define indexes enable SSL WebUI, 8089 mgmt, 9997 cooked input enable email (SMTP) for SearchHead only via the SH WebUI  ...

Based on this solution by @javiergn: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-calculate-the-factorial-of-a-number-in-a-Splunk-search/m-p/200993/highlight/true#M58264 (Not entirely sure what the hell natural logarithm and exponential function e^x are but I double checked all the math with an online calculator and it works.  I don't know what the upper limit on "n" and/or "r" would be with this solution, but there is a point at which the numbers are too big and the math starts to break down according to @javiergn.) Here is the visualization, I really like how it came out: Here is the SPL, you can insert anything in place of the lookup table files in order to dynamically calculate your "n" and "r":   | inputlookup my_list_of_things.csv | stats dc(factor) as n | eval r=mvrange(1,('n'+1)) | mvexpand r | eval r_log=ln('r') | eventstats sum(r_log) as n_sum | eval n_factorial=exp('n_sum') | streamstats sum(r_log) as r_sum | eval r_factorial=exp('r_sum') | eval nlr='n'-'r' | eval nlr_log=ln('nlr') | sort + nlr | streamstats sum(nlr_log) as nlr_sum | eval nlr_factorial=exp('nlr_sum') | eval combinations=round(('n_factorial'/('r_factorial'*'nlr_factorial'))) | eval combinations=if('n'=='r',1,'combinations') | rename n as factors r as score | sort + score | table factors score combinations   ...
