Question 1 of 212
Which search string only returns events from hostWWW3?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

To search for events solely from hostWWW3, the correct search string must precisely match the host value. The search string 'host=WWW3' does exactly that, as it specifies the exact host name without using any wildcards which could include other hosts. Therefore, the correct answer is 'host=WWW3'.

What must be done before an automatic lookup can be created? (Choose all that apply.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B, C.

Before creating an automatic lookup in Splunk, it is essential to first create the lookup definition, as this specifies how the lookup should behave. Additionally, the lookup file must be uploaded to Splunk to provide the data necessary for the lookup process. These two steps ensure that the lookup is properly defined and the necessary data is available for Splunk to use.

Question 5 of 212
What determines the scope of data that appears in a scheduled report?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

The scope of data that appears in a scheduled report is determined by all data accessible to the owner of the report. Scheduled reports and alerts run with the permissions of the report owner, meaning the data visible in the report will be constrained to what the owner has access to. While permissions settings can be configured to allow reports to run either as the User role or the owner's profile when shared, for scheduled reports, the data scope defaults to the owner's permissions.
