What is recommended method of adding workers to a FortiSIEM cluster?
The correct answer is C. Add a worker every 10,000 EPS. Adding a worker every 10,000 EPS (option C) is the Fortinet-recommended scaling guideline for FortiSIEM clusters, ensuring each worker node operates within its optimal processing capacity without becoming a bottleneck for event ingestion and correlation.

Explanation
Adding a worker every 10,000 EPS (option C) is the Fortinet-recommended scaling guideline for FortiSIEM clusters, ensuring each worker node operates within its optimal processing capacity without becoming a bottleneck for event ingestion and correlation.
Options A (25,000), B (20,000), and D (15,000) are all too high - scaling at those thresholds would overload individual workers before new capacity is added, leading to event processing delays, dropped events, or degraded query performance.
Memory tip: Think "10K = time to think" - at 10,000 EPS, it's time to add a worker. The number 10 is the smallest of the choices, which aligns with the conservative, proactive scaling philosophy Fortinet recommends to maintain cluster health.
