Every Search in Splunk is also called _____________.
A. None of the above
B. Job
C. Search Only
Explanation:
In Splunk, every search you run is referred to as a "job". Here’s why:
Search Job
When you execute a search, Splunk creates a job (a unique instance of that search).
Each job has a Job ID (e.g., 1234567890) and tracks:
. The search string.
. Status (running, paused, completed).
. Results and performance metrics.
Where You See This
The Job Inspector (Inspector button in the search interface) shows details like execution time and events processed.
The Search Job Manager (under Settings > Search Jobs) lists all active/completed jobs.
Why Not the Others?
A. None of the above → Incorrect, as "job" is the correct term.
C. Search Only → Incorrect, because while searches are jobs, Splunk explicitly uses "job" in its architecture (APIs, URLs, and logs).
Key Takeaway:
Searches = Jobs in Splunk’s backend.
Jobs can be managed, paused, or terminated.
What is the default lifetime of every Splunk search job?
A. All search jobs are saved for 10 days
B. All search jobs are saved for 10 hours
C. All search jobs are saved for 10 weeks
D. All search jobs are saved for 10 minutes
By default, an unscheduled search job in Splunk has a lifetime of 10 minutes, meaning it remains accessible for that duration before expiring. However, scheduled searches have different retention periods based on their execution intervals.
How many main user roles do you have in Splunk?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 1
D. 3
Explanation:
In Splunk, there are three main default user roles:
Admin
Has full access to all Splunk features and settings.
Can create and manage indexes, users, apps, inputs, configurations, etc.
Power
Has more privileges than the default user, including scheduling searches and creating alerts/reports.
Cannot manage system-level settings like an admin.
User
Basic access for searching, creating dashboards, and saving reports.
Cannot schedule alerts or make administrative changes.
Why other options are incorrect:
A. 2 – Incomplete (would leave out one of the roles).
B. 4 – Too many; only 3 are default.
C. 1 – Definitely incorrect; there are multiple built-in roles.
Portal for Splunk apps can be accessed through www.splunkbase.com
A. False
B. True
Explanation:
Splunk's official app marketplace, Splunkbase, is the central hub for downloading and sharing Splunk apps, add-ons, and plugins. Here’s why the statement is true:
Splunkbase Website
The portal is accessible at https://www.splunkbase.com.
It hosts thousands of free and paid apps (e.g., AWS, Cisco, Palo Alto integrations).
Purpose of Splunkbase
Apps: Extend Splunk’s functionality (e.g., dashboards, custom visualizations).
Add-ons: Provide data inputs/parsing for specific technologies (e.g., Microsoft 365, Kafka).
Developer Submissions: Splunk partners/community contributors publish apps here.
Why Not False?
There is no alternative "official" portal for Splunk apps—Splunkbase is the only designated platform.
Key Takeaway:
Always download apps from Splunkbase (not third-party sites) to ensure security/compatibility.
Apps are installed via the Splunk Web UI or CLI (splunk install app
Splunk users are assigned roles. Which of the following do roles determine?
A. Password
B. Port number
C. Username
D. Data access
Explanation:
In Splunk, roles define what users can see and do within the system. Here’s how roles impact permissions:
What Roles Control
Data Access: Roles determine which:
Indexes a user can search (e.g., main, security).
Saved searches/reports they can view or edit.
Capabilities: Actions a user can perform (e.g., edit_dashboards, schedule_search).
App/Feature Access: Which Splunk apps or features are visible (e.g., Splunk Enterprise Security).
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Password → Managed via authentication (e.g., LDAP, SAML), not roles.
B. Port number → Configured in inputs.conf/outputs.conf, unrelated to roles.
C. Username → Defined during user creation, not role assignment.
Key Takeaway:
Roles are access control templates—they govern data visibility and functionality, not credentials or system settings.
Which of the following is a false statement about Splunk dashboards?
A. Dashboards must have a unique dashboard ID within a permission's context.
B. Splunk dashboards consist of one or more panels displaying data visually in a useful way.
C. Splunk dashboards may not be directly created from search results without first creating a report.
D. Splunk dashboard panels can be populated by reports.
Explanation: According to the Splunk documentation, dashboards are collections of views
that you can use to visually analyze your data. You can create dashboards using simple
XML, or use the Splunk Web framework to build custom dashboards using HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript.
Dashboards consist of one or more panels that display data in a variety of ways. You can
use charts, tables, maps, single value indicators, and other visualizations to display your
data. You can also add interactive elements to your dashboards, such as filters, drilldowns,
and time range pickers, to make them more dynamic and user-friendly.
To create a dashboard panel from a search result, you can use the Save As button in the
Search app and select Dashboard Panel. This will open a dialog box where you can
choose an existing dashboard or create a new one, and specify the panel title and
visualization type. You can also edit the panel properties and permissions before saving it
to the dashboard.
Alternatively, you can create a report from a search result and then add it to a dashboard
as a panel. Reports are saved searches that include additional attributes such as a
visualization type, permissions, and an optional description. You can create reports using
the Save As button in the Search app and select Report. To add a report to a dashboard,
you can use the Add to Dashboard button in the Reports listing page or in the report itself.
Dashboards must have a unique dashboard ID within a permission’s context. This means
that you cannot have two dashboards with the same ID in the same app or user space. The
dashboard ID is used to reference the dashboard in URLs and XML files. You can specify
the dashboard ID when you create a new dashboard using simple XML or the Splunk Web
framework. If you do not specify an ID, Splunk software will generate one based on the
dashboard title.
Splunk apps are used for following (Choose three.):
A. Designed to cater numerous use cases and empower Splunk.
B. We can not install Splunk App.
C. Allows multiple workspaces for different use cases/user roles.
D. It is collection of different Splunk config files like data inputs, UI and Knowledge Object.
Explanation:
Splunk apps are modular extensions that enhance Splunk's functionality for specific needs. Here’s why these options are correct:
A. Designed for use cases
Apps tailor Splunk to specific domains (e.g., IT ops, security, business analytics).
Examples:
Splunk Enterprise Security (ES): For SOC teams.
Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI): For monitoring IT services.
C. Multiple workspaces
Apps create isolated environments for different teams/roles.
Example: A security app (like ES) hides non-security data from non-SOC users.
D. Collection of config files
Apps bundle:
Data inputs (e.g., inputs.conf for log sources).
UI dashboards (e.g., default.xml).
Knowledge Objects (e.g., saved searches, field extractions).
Why Not B?
B. "We cannot install Splunk Apps" → False. Apps are installable via:
Splunk Web (GUI).
CLI (splunk install app
Splunkbase (official marketplace).
Key Takeaway:
Apps modularize Splunk to solve niche problems, segment data/access, and simplify deployments.
