Question 1 of 85

How does Monitoring Console (MC) initially identify the server role(s) of a new Splunk Instance?

The MC uses a REST endpoint to query the server.

Roles are manually assigned within the MC.

Roles are read from distsearch.conf.

The MC assigns all possible roles by default.

Correct Answer: A

The Monitoring Console (MC) initially identifies the server role(s) of a new Splunk Instance by using a REST endpoint to query the server. This allows the MC to dynamically gather information about the instance's configuration and role assignments.

Question 2 of 85

A customer has asked for a five-node search head cluster (SHC), but does not have the storage budget to use a replication factor greater than 2. They would like to understand what might happen in terms of the users' ability to view historic scheduled search results if they log onto a search head which doesn't contain one of the 2 copies of a given search artifact.

Which of the following statements best describes what would happen in this scenario?

The search head that the user has logged onto will proxy the required artifact over to itself from a search head that currently holds a copy. A copy will also be replicated from that search head permanently, so it is available for future use.

Because the dispatch folder containing the search results is not present on the search head, the user will not be able to view the search results.

The user will not be able to see the results of the search until one of the search heads is restarted, forcing synchronization of all dispatched artifacts across all search heads.

The user will not be able to see the results of the search until the Splunk administrator issues the apply shcluster-bundle command on the search head deployer, forcing synchronization of all dispatched artifacts across all search heads.

Correct Answer: A

In the case where a search head does not contain a copy of the required artifact, the search head will proxy the necessary artifact from another search head that holds a copy. Additionally, the artifact will be replicated to the search head that initiated the request to ensure it is available for future use. This ensures that users can access historical scheduled search results, even if the search head they log onto does not initially have a copy of the artifact.

Question 3 of 85

Monitoring Console (MC) health check configuration items are stored in which configuration file?

healthcheck.conf

alert_actions.conf

distsearch.conf

checklist.conf

Correct Answer: A

The correct file for storing Monitoring Console (MC) health check configuration items is 'healthcheck.conf'. This file is specifically designed for configuring health checks within the Monitoring Console environment. None of the other options, such as 'alert_actions.conf', 'distsearch.conf', or 'checklist.conf', are used for this purpose.

Question 4 of 85

What should be considered when running the following CLI commands with a goal of accelerating an index cluster migration to new hardware?

Data ingestion rate

Network latency and storage IOPS

Distance and location

SSL data encryption

Correct Answer: B

When accelerating an index cluster migration to new hardware using CLI commands to adjust 'max_peer_build_load' and 'max_peer_rep_load', key considerations include network latency and storage Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS). These factors directly impact the speed and efficiency of data transfer between nodes. High network latency can slow down communication, while sufficient storage IOPS ensures the storage system can handle the increased load. Hence, optimizing both parameters is crucial for a smooth and fast migration process.

Question 5 of 85

Which statement is true about subsearches?

Subsearches are faster than other types of searches.

Subsearches work best for joining two large result sets.

Subsearches run at the same time as their outer search.

Subsearches work best for small result sets.

Correct Answer: D

Subsearches work best for small result sets. Subsearches can be resource-intensive and slow, especially if they return a large number of results. Therefore, they are more efficient and practical when dealing with smaller datasets.
