Which of the following would exclude all entries contained in the lookup file baditems.csv from search results?
A. NOT [inputlookup baditems.csv]
B. NOT (lookup baditems.csv OUTPUT item)
C. WHERE item NOT IN (baditems.csv)
D. [NOT inputlookup baditems.csv]
Explanation: The correct way to exclude entries from the lookup file baditems.csv is using NOT [inputlookup baditems.csv]. This syntax excludes all entries in the lookup from the main search results.
How can form inputs impact dashboard panels using inline searches?
A. Panels powered by an inline search require a minimum of one form input.
B. Form inputs cannot impact panels using inline searches.
C. Adding a form input to a dashboard converts all panels to prebuilt panels.
D. A token in a search can be replaced by a form input value.
Explanation: Form inputs can dynamically update panels in a dashboard by replacing tokens in the search string with the form input value, making dashboards interactive and responsive to user selections.
What is one way to troubleshoot dashboards?
A. Run the | previous_searches command to troubleshoot your SPL queries.
B. Go to the Troubleshooting dashboard of the Search & Reporting app.
C. Delete the dashboard and start over.
D. Create an HTML panel using tokens to verify that they are being set.
Explanation: To troubleshoot dashboards in Splunk, go to the Troubleshooting dashboard of the Search & Reporting app. This tool provides insights into performance and potential issues, helping identify and resolve problems efficiently.
What is the correct hierarchy of XML elements in a dashboard panel?
A.
B.
C.
D.
What capability does a power user need to create a Log Event alert action?
A. edit_search_server
B. edit_udp
C. edit_tcp
D. edit_alerts
Explanation: To create a Log Event alert action in Splunk, a power user needs the edit_alerts capability. This capability allows the user to configure and manage alert actions within Splunk.
How is regex passed to the makemv command?
A. makemv must be preceded by the erex command.
B. It is specified by the delim argument.
C. It is specified by the tokenizer argument.
D. makemv must be preceded by the rex command.
Explanation: The regex is passed to the makemv command in Splunk using the delim argument. This argument specifies the delimiter used to split a single string field into multiple values, effectively creating a multivalue field.
Which of the following best describes the process for tokenizing event data?
A. The event data is broken up by values in the punch field.
B. The event data is broken up by major breakers and then broken up further by minor breakers.
C. The event data is broken up by a series of user-defined regex patterns.
D. The event data has all punctuation stripped out and is then space-delimited.
Explanation: The process for tokenizing event data in Splunk involves breaking the event data up by major breakers (which typically identify the boundaries of events) and further breaking it up by minor breakers (which segment the event data into fields). This hierarchical approach allows Splunk to efficiently parse and structure the data.
Which of the following is accurate about cascading inputs?
A. They can be reset by an event handler.
B. The final input has no impact on previous inputs.
C. Only the final input of the sequence can supply a token to searches.
D. Inputs added to panels cannot participate.
Explanation: Cascading inputs allow one input's selection to determine the options available in subsequent inputs. An event handler can reset the cascading sequence based on user interactions, ensuring the following inputs reflect appropriate options based on prior selections.
What qualifies a report for acceleration?
A. Fewer than 100k events in search results, with transforming commands used in the search string.
B. More than 100k events in search results, with only a search command in the search string.
C. More than 100k events in the search results, with a search and transforming command used in the search string.
D. Fewer than 100k events in search results, with only a search and transaction command used in the search string.
Explanation: A report qualifies for acceleration in Splunk if it involves fewer than 100,000 events in the search results and uses transforming commands. Transforming commands aggregate data, which helps reduce the dataset's size and complexity, making the report suitable for acceleration.
How can a lookup be referenced in an alert?
A. Use the lookup dropdown in the alert configuration window.
B. Follow a lookup with an alert command in the search bar.
C. Run a search that uses a lookup and save as an alert.
D. Upload a lookup file directly to the alert.
Explanation: In Splunk, a lookup can be referenced in an alert by running a search that incorporates the lookup and saving that search as an alert. This allows the alert to use the lookup data as part of its logic.
Why use the tstats command?
A. As an alternative to the summary command.
B. To generate statistics on indexed fields.
C. To generate an accelerated data model.
D. To generate statistics on search-time fields.
Explanation: The tstats command is used to generate statistics on indexed fields, particularly from accelerated data models. It operates on indexed-time summaries, making it more efficient than using raw data.
If a nested macro expands to a search string that begins with a generating command, what additional syntax is needed?
A. Double tick marks around the nested macro.
B. A comma before the nested macro.
C. Square brackets around the nested macro.
D. A pipe character before the nested macro.
Explanation: When a nested macro expands to a search string that begins with a generating command, square brackets are required to ensure proper interpretation. Square brackets allow the nested macro to be treated as a subsearch or command.
