What does the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) add-on include? (select all that apply)
A. Custom visualizations
B. Pre-configured data models
C. Fields and event category tags
D. Automatic data model acceleration
Explanation: The Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) add-on is a collection of prebuilt data models and knowledge objects that help you normalize your data from different sources and make it easier to analyze and report on it3. The CIM add-on includes preconfigured data models that cover various domains such as Alerts, Email, Database, Network Traffic, Web and more3. Therefore, option B is correct. The CIM add-on also includes fields and event category tags that define the common attributes and labels for the data models3. Therefore, option C is correct. The CIM add-on does not include custom visualizations or automatic data model acceleration. Therefore, options A and D are incorrect.
Which of the following statements describe the search string below?
| datamodel Application_State All_Application_State search
A. Evenrches would return a report of sales by state.
B. Events will be returned from the data model named Application_State.
C. Events will be returned from the data model named All_Application_state.
D. No events will be returned because the pipe should occur after the datamodel command
Explanation: The search string below returns events from the data model named
Application_State.
| datamodel Application_State All_Application_State search
The search string does the following:
It uses the datamodel command to access a data model in Splunk. The datamodel
command takes two arguments: the name of the data model and the name of the
dataset within the data model.
It specifies the name of the data model as Application_State. This is a predefined
data model in Splunk that contains information about web applications.
It specifies the name of the dataset as All_Application_State. This is a root dataset
in the data model that contains all events from all child datasets.
It uses the search command to filter and transform the events from the dataset.
The search command can use any search criteria or command to modify the
results.
Therefore, the search string returns events from the data model named Application_State.
When using timechart, how many fields can be listed after a by clause?
A. because timechart doesn't support using a by clause.
B. because _time is already implied as the x-axis.
C. because one field would represent the x-axis and the other would represent the y-axis.
D. There is no limit specific to timechart.
Explanation: The timechart command is used to create a time-series chart of statistical values based on your search results2. You can use the timechart command with a by clause to split the results by one or more fields and create multiple series in the chart2. However, you can only list one field after the by clause when using the timechart command because _time is already implied as the x-axis of the chart2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A, C and D are incorrect.
Which of the following statements describes the command below (select all that apply)
Sourcetype=access_combined | transaction JSESSIONID
A. An additional filed named maxspan is created.
B. An additional field named duration is created.
C. An additional field named eventcount is created.
D. Events with the same JSESSIONID will be grouped together into a single event.
Explanation: The command sourcetype=access_combined | transaction
JSESSIONID does three things:
It filters the events by the sourcetype access_combined, which is a predefined
sourcetype for Apache web server logs.
It groups the events by the field JSESSIONID, which is a unique identifier for each
user session.
It creates a single event from each group of events that share the
same JSESSIONID value. This single event will have some additional fields
created by the transaction command, such as duration, eventcount, and startime.
Therefore, the statements B, C, and D are true.
Which of the following statements describes this search?
sourcetype=access_combined I transaction JSESSIONID | timechart avg (duration)
A. This is a valid search and will display a timechart of the average duration, of each transaction event.
B. This is a valid search and will display a stats table showing the maximum pause among transactions.
C. No results will be returned because the transaction command must include the startswith and endswith options.
D. No results will be returned because the transaction command must be the last command used in the search pipeline.
Explanation: This search uses the transaction command to group events that share a common value for JSESSIONID into transactions1. The transaction command assigns a duration field to each transaction, which is the difference between the latest and earliest timestamps of the events in the transaction1. The search then uses the timechart command to create a time-series chart of the average duration of each transaction1. Therefore, option A is correct because it describes the search accurately. Option B is incorrect because the search does not use the stats command or the pause field. Option C is incorrect because the transaction command does not require the startswith and endswith options, although they can be used to specify how to identify the beginning and end of a transaction1. Option D is incorrect because the transaction command does not have to be the last command in the search pipeline, although it is often used near the end of a search1.
Which of the following file formats can be extracted using a delimiter field extraction?
A. CSV
B. PDF
C. XML
D. JSON
