When running a real-time search, search results are pulled from which Splunk component?
A. Heavy forwarders and search peers
B. Heavy forwarders
C. Search heads
D. Search peers
Explanation:
Using the Splunk reference URLhttps://docs.splunk.com/Splexicon:Searchpeer
"search peer is a splunk platform instance that responds to search requests from a search
head. The term "search peer" is usally synonymous with the indexer role in a distributed
search topology. However, other instance types also have access to indexed data,
particularly internal diagnostic data, and thus function as search peers when they respond
to search requests for that data."
Where should apps be located on the deployment server that the clients pull from?
A. $SFLUNK_KOME/etc/apps
B. $SPLUNK_HCME/etc/sear:ch
C. $SPLUNK_HCME/etc/master-apps
D. $SPLUNK HCME/etc/deployment-apps
Explanation:
To distribute apps to forwarders via the Splunk Deployment Server, you must place them in the deployment-apps directory. Here’s why:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps (D):
The correct directory for apps that forwarders (Universal/Heavy Forwarders) pull from the Deployment Server.
Apps here are pushed to clients based on their server class (defined in serverclass.conf).
Why Not Other Options?
A ($SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps): Stores apps local to the Deployment Server, not for deployment.
B ($SPLUNK_HOME/etc/search): Invalid directory (typo in the option).
C ($SPLUNK_HOME/etc/master-apps): Used for app version control (e.g., with Deployment Client), not forwarder deployment.
Key Workflow:
1. Place the app in deployment-apps.
2. Map the app to a server class in serverclass.conf:
[serverClass:web_servers]
whitelist.0 = host_web*
app.0 = my_custom_app
3. Forwarders in the web_servers class will receive my_custom_app
The Splunk administrator wants to ensure data is distributed evenly amongst the indexers.
To do this, he runs
the following search over the last 24 hours:
index=*
What field can the administrator check to see the data distribution?
A. host
B. index
C. linecount
D. splunk_server
The splunk server field contains the name of the Splunk server containing the event. Useful in a distributed Splunk environment. Example: Restrict a search to the main index on a server named remote. splunk_server=remote index=main 404
What is an example of a proper configuration for CHARSET within props.conf?
A. [host: : server. splunk. com]
CHARSET = BIG5
B. [index: :main]
CHARSET = BIG5
C. [sourcetype: : son]
CHARSET = BIG5
D. [source: : /var/log/ splunk]
CHARSET = BIG5
Explanation: According to the Splunk documentation1, to manually specify a character set
for an input, you need to set the CHARSET key in the props.conf file. You can specify the
character set by host, source, or sourcetype, but not by index.

Which configuration files are used to transform raw data ingested by Splunk? (Choose all that apply.)
A. props.conf
B. inputs.conf
C. rawdata.conf
D. transforms.conf
Use transformations with props.conf and transforms.conf to:
– Mask or delete raw data as it is being indexed
– Override sourcetype or host based upon event values
– Route events to specific indexes based on event content
– Prevent unwanted events from being indexed
Which of the following is a benefit of distributed search?
A. Peers run search in sequence.
B. Peers run search in parallel.
C. Resilience from indexer failure.
D. Resilience from search head failure.
Explanation: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.2/DistSearch/Whatisdistributedsearch Parallel reduce search processing If you struggle with extremely large high-cardinality searches, you might be able to apply parallel reduce processing to them to help them complete faster. You must have a distributed search environment to use parallel reduce search processing.
What are the values forhostandindexfor[stanza1]used by Splunk during index time, given the following configuration files?
A. host=server1
index=unixinfo
B. host=server1
index=searchinfo
C. host=searchsvr1
index=searchinfo
D. host=unixsvr1
index=unixinfo
Explanation: - etc/system/local/ has better precedence at index time - for identical settings in the same file, the last one overwrite others, see :https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-precedence-for-identicalstanzas- within-a-single/m-p/283566
