SPLK-2002 Exam - Question 44


When Splunk indexes data in a non clustered environment, what kind of files does it create by default?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

When Splunk indexes data, it creates two main types of files: the index files, which point to the raw data, and the .tsidx files, which are the time-series index files. These index files help in efficiently searching and retrieving the indexed data. Additionally, the raw data is stored in a compressed form, but the question specifically asks for files created by the indexing process in a non-clustered environment, emphasizing the index and .tsidx files.

A Splunk Enterprise index contains a variety of files. These files fall into two main categories: The raw data in compressed form (rawdata) Indexes that point to the raw data (index files, also referred to as tsidx files), plus some metadata files

This is tough, seems like it could be B or C, depending on your point of view: "A Splunk Enterprise index contains a variety of files. These files fall into two main categories: The raw data in compressed form (rawdata) Indexes that point to the raw data (index files, also referred to as tsidx files), plus some metadata files"

C would not be correct because metadata files aren't compressed. This question was designed to get people pretty well
