SPLK-1002 Exam - Question 96


Which of the following statements describe the search below? (Choose all that apply.) index=main | transaction clientip host maxspan=30s maxpause=5s

Show Answer
Correct Answer: ABD

The search command groups events that share the same clientip and host, which means that events with identical clientip and host values will be grouped together. This describes option B. Additionally, the maxspan parameter limits the total duration of the transaction to 30 seconds, which means the first and last events in the transaction can be no more than 30 seconds apart, as described in option D. The maxpause parameter ensures that if there is a pause longer than 5 seconds between events, a new transaction is started, but this does not mean that all events within a transaction occurred within 5 seconds, making option A incorrect. Option C is also incorrect as it misinterprets the maxpause parameter.

no. It's A, D. The reference link states the field list captures unique combination of fields not fields with identical value.

I agree, nevertheless the A is ambiguous, does it means all events within 5 sec or each events separated in less than 5 sec...

I think ambiguous defines the rest of these questions from the rest of these tests too.

Example is here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.1/SearchReference/Transaction Define a transaction based on Web access events that have a unique combination of host and clientip values. The first and last events in the transaction should be no more than thirty seconds apart and each event should not be longer than five seconds apart. So it would group events in a transaction where IP=1.2.3.4 and hostwww1. IP=1.2.3.4 and host=www2 would be in another transacton (B) A is a trick question or badly formulated. Pause between events within the transactions should be no more than 5s apart. However, the total transaction time can be much longer.

A is wrong: the maxspan defines the maximum pause between 2 consecutive events

The correct answer is D. The maxspan option specifies that the first and last events in a transaction can be no more than 30 seconds apart. The maxpause option specifies that if there is a pause between events longer than 5 seconds, a new transaction will be started. Therefore, option D is correct as it describes the maximum time duration allowed for a transaction to occur between its first and last events. Options A and C are incorrect because they refer to a different parameter not mentioned in the Splunk search command. Option B is partially correct, as it describes the fields used to group events together, but it does not describe the time constraints on the transaction itself.

B&D - the context for the search is correct. This is an example directly from Splunk: "transaction host cookie maxspan=30s maxpause=5s"

B,D are correct. Here is the description of the maxpause command Specifies the maximum length of time in seconds, minutes, hours, or days for the pause between the events in a transaction. If value is negative, the maxpause constraint is disabled and there is no limit. A would only be definitively correct if the transaction had 2 events. If it has more than 2 events then the time between the first and last event are unknown, all we know is no 2 events are more than 5 seconds apart.

answer is BD - Define a transaction based on Web access events that share the same IP address. The first and last events in the transaction should be no more than thirty seconds apart and each event should not be longer than five seconds apart. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/SearchReference/Transaction#transaction
