Question 12

Which of the following statements describe the Common Information Model (CIM)? (Choose all that apply.)

    Correct Answer: A, B, C

    The Common Information Model (CIM) is a methodology for normalizing data, which is accurately described by statement A. It can indeed correlate data from different sources, making statement B correct as well. Statement C is also accurate because the CIM is used by Knowledge Managers to create knowledge objects such as reports. However, statement D is incorrect; CIM itself is not an app but rather an add-on that can interact with other apps on a single Splunk deployment. These statements clarify the role and functionality of the CIM within the Splunk ecosystem.

NLotusOptions: ABC

As others have said, A - Correct B - Correct Now for the interesting ones. C - CIM can create reports, which are a type of saved search, which are knowledge objects. Also, yes it is the knowledge manager's role: "you can use the models to generate reports", from the Knowledge Management docs https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.1/Knowledge/UnderstandandusetheCommonInformationModel - Correct D - Splunk's splexicon for add-on: "A type of app..." and the F2 pdf "The CIM add-on is a search time app..." https://docs.splunk.com/Splexicon:Addon - Correct ABCD is correct

Friends,finally ABC? could you please confirm this answer?

yes friend

M9201715Options: ABC

Agree with Ajames21 - option D is incorrect because CIM is an add-on, not an app. So correct answer is ABC See this discussion on the differences between apps and add-ons: https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/tips-and-tricks/what-are-splunk-apps-and-add-ons.html and this page on the CIM add-on: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1621/#/details (App Type is listed as Add-on, bottom right corner of Details tab)

This is a hard understandable and trick question. In my first read I thought it was ABC but after a while and doing some researches I end up with A and B. Here is my explanation: C - CIM is not a tool to create Knowledge OBjects. Knowledge manager use CIM to have a default start up of Knowledge OBjects. D - Despite Add-on be a TYPE of APP, add-on is not equal to an app. "Unlike an Add-on, App caters towards only a single perspective. It is used only for one common goal and it can be used for a specific thing." https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/welcome/?_gl=1*1x7ca1c*_ga*MjA0MTE4MDA2OC4xNjQzMDI4MzEx*_gid*OTYwNjk3ODMxLjE2NTEwNjgwMDE.&_ga=2.11612092.960697831.1651068001-2041180068.1643028311#What-is-a-Splunk-app https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/welcome/?_gl=1*1x7ca1c*_ga*MjA0MTE4MDA2OC4xNjQzMDI4MzEx*_gid*OTYwNjk3ODMxLjE2NTEwNjgwMDE.&_ga=2.11612092.960697831.1651068001-2041180068.1643028311#What-is-a-Splunk-add-on

"CIM is an app that can coexist with other apps on a single Splunk deployment" is not correct

metrominiOptions: AB

It doesn't say it needs 3 answer, just A and B are the confirmed right answers.

teems5ukOptions: ABD

Fun2(page 268) What is the Common Information Model (CIM)? • The Splunk Common Information Model provides a methodology to normalize data • Leverage the CIM when creating field extractions, field aliases, event types, and tags to ensure: – Multiple apps can co-exist on a single Splunk deployment – Object permissions can be set to global for the use of multiple apps – Easier and more efficient correlation of data from different sources and source types

IxlJustinlxlOptions: ABC

AB for sure.. but I am not sure about C D is out (says CIM is an app but it is an add on) The issue with C is that CIM is used to normalize data and then that normalized data can be used to create reports (a knowledge object) - I don't think CIM itself can be used to create the knowledge objects.

ANki_24Options: ABC

ABCD are correct

teems5ukOptions: ABD

Option D is really confusing, but according to page 268: CIM only helps to ensure – Multiple apps can co-exist on a single Splunk deployment.

Ajames21Options: ABC

ABC is correct A - Duh B - page 268 fundamentals 2 C - reports and dashboards are knowledge objects, https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CIM/4.15.0/User/UsetheCIMtocreatereportsanddashboards D - CIM is an addon not an app, obvious trick wording https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CIM/4.15.0/User/Overview

IGoddard90Options: ABC

A lot of different responses for this question! It seems to be ambiguously worded, i thought ABC was correct

utku461Options: ABD

"The CIM add-on is a search time app..." so i guess D is kinda correct or am i mistaken? I would say A,B and D

robotn1kOptions: ABC

A and B are correct D is incorrect as CIM is a framework that 'allows' apps to co-exist on a single instance

SH_N

what is the correct answer? ABD or just AB

codemkOptions: ACD

A different perspective but it is A, C and D for me A - yes B - no because the CIM is used to normalise, not to correlate C - yes D - yes, according to the Splexicon, an add-on is a type of app therefore D is correct

GlatOptions: ABC

Very ambigous question... I think AB is the correct answer for this question. C could be add but it's not the right answer for "describe the CIM" ?

malikperang

Yes i somehow agree with you about the questions on describing instead of the usability
