When writing searches in Splunk, which of the following is true about Booleans?
When writing searches in Splunk, which of the following is true about Booleans?
In Splunk searches, Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT must be uppercase to be recognized correctly. This requirement ensures proper logical functioning and accurate search results.
Which of the following searches would return events with failure in index netfw or warn or critical in index netops?
The correct search query needs to retrieve events with 'failure' in the netfw index or events with 'warn' or 'critical' in the netops index. This is accomplished by using the OR operator to combine the conditions for 'failure' and '(warn OR critical)'. The parentheses are necessary to correctly group 'warn' and 'critical' as conditions that relate specifically to the netops index. Without proper grouping, the query would not correctly apply 'warn' and 'critical' just to netops. Therefore, the correct option is '(index=netfw failure) OR (index=netops (warn OR critical))'.
Select the answer that displays the accurate placing of the pipe in the following search string: index=security sourcetype=access_* status=200 stats count by price
The correct placement of the pipe in the search string ensures that the filters are applied before statistical operations are performed. In this case, we first need to filter the events using 'status=200' and then perform the statistical aggregation with 'stats count by price'. Therefore, the pipe should be placed after 'status=200', making option B the correct answer.
Which of the following constraints can be used with the top command?
The 'limit' constraint can be used with the top command to specify the maximum number of results to return. For example, using 'top limit=10 source' will return the top 10 most common values for the 'source' field.
When editing a dashboard, which of the following are possible options? (Choose all that apply.)
When editing a dashboard, you can modify the chart type displayed in a dashboard panel, as this allows different visual representations of data. Additionally, you can drag a dashboard panel to a different location on the dashboard, which helps in organizing and customizing the layout according to preferences. 'Add an output' and 'Export a dashboard panel' are not typical options available specifically in the edit mode of dashboards.
