Challenge Yourself with the World's Most Realistic SPLK-1005 Test.
Which of the following takes place during the input phase?
A. Splunk annotates data with only 3 metadata keys: host, source, and sourcetype.
B. Splunk sets the character encoding of the data.
C. Splunk looks at the contents of the data to apply the correct source.
D. Splunk breaks data into individual lines.
Explanation: During the input phase in Splunk, the system processes incoming data by first setting the character encoding of the data. This step ensures that the data is correctly interpreted by Splunk, allowing it to be parsed and processed properly later in the pipeline. Other options describe actions that occur during later phases, such as parsing and indexing.
Which of the following is correct in regard to configuring a Universal Forwarder as an Intermediate Forwarder?
A. This can only be turned on using the Settings > Forwarding and Receiving menu in Splunk Web/UI.
B. The configuration changes can be made using Splunk Web. CU, directly in configuration files, or via a deployment app.
C. The configuration changes can be made using CU, directly in configuration files, or via a deployment app.
D. It is only possible to make this change directly in configuration files or via a deployment app.
Explanation: Configuring a Universal Forwarder (UF) as an Intermediate Forwarder
involves making changes to its configuration to allow it to receive data from other
forwarders before sending it to indexers.
D. It is only possible to make this change directly in configuration files or via a
deployment app: This is the correct answer. Configuring a Universal Forwarder as
an Intermediate Forwarder is done by editing the configuration files directly (like
outputs.conf), or by deploying a pre-configured app via a deployment server. The
Splunk Web UI (Management Console) does not provide an interface for
configuring a Universal Forwarder as an Intermediate Forwarder.
A. This can only be turned on using the Settings > Forwarding and Receiving
menu in Splunk Web/UI: Incorrect, as this applies to Heavy Forwarders, not
Universal Forwarders.
B. The configuration changes can be made using Splunk Web, CLI, directly in
configuration files, or via a deployment app: Incorrect, the Splunk Web UI is not
used for configuring Universal Forwarders.
C. The configuration changes can be made using CLI, directly in configuration
files, or via a deployment app: While CLI could be used for certain configurations,
the specific Intermediate Forwarder setup is typically done via configuration files or
deployment apps.
How is it possible to test a script from the Splunk perspective before using it within a scripted input?
A. splunk run
B. splunk script
C. ./$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/
D. splunk cmd
Explanation: splunk cmd <scriptname> allows running scripts in Splunk’s environment for testing purposes. This ensures the script behaves as expected within Splunk’s CLI context.
Which of the following is a valid monitor stanza for inputs.conf?
A. [monitor:///var/log/*.log] index = linux sourcetype = access_combined host = 489307057
B. [monitor:\\\var\log\httpd-[0-9].log] index = linux sourcetype = access_combined host = 489307057
C. [monitor:///var/log/httpd-[0-9].log] index = linux sourcetype = access_combined host = 489307057
D. [monitor:\\\var\log\*.log] index = linux sourcetype = access_combined host = 489307057
Explanation: [monitor:///var/log/httpd-[0-9].log] is a valid path and syntax for inputs.conf to monitor files ending in .log under /var/log, with other correct index, sourcetype, and host settings specified.
A log file is being ingested into Splunk, and a few events have no date stamp. How would Splunk first try to determine the missing date of the events?
A. Splunk will take the date of a previous event within the log file.
B. Splunk will use the current system time of the Indexer for the date.
C. Splunk will use the date of when the file monitor was created.
D. Splunk will take the date from the file modification time.
Explanation: When events lack a timestamp, Splunk defaults to using the file modification time, which is accessible metadata for parsing time information if no timestamp is present in the log entry.
Which of the following methods is valid for creating index-time field extractions?
A. Use the UI to create a sourcetype, specify the field name and corresponding regular expression with capture statement.
B. Create a configuration app with the index-time props.conf and/or transfoms. conf, and upload the app via UI.
C. Use the CU app to define settings in fields.conf, and restart Splunk Cloud.
D. Use the rex command to extract the desired field, and then save as a calculated field.
Explanation: The valid method for creating index-time field extractions is to create a configuration app that includes the necessary props.conf and/or transforms.conf configurations. This app can then be uploaded via the UI. Index-time field extractions must be defined in these configuration files to ensure that fields are extracted correctly during indexing.
Windows Input types are collected in Splunk via a script which is configurable using the GUI. What is this type of input called?
A. Batch
B. Scripted
C. Modular
D. Front-end
Explanation: Windows inputs in Splunk, particularly those that involve more advanced
data collection capabilities beyond simple file monitoring, can utilize scripts or custom
inputs. These are typically referred to as Modular Inputs.
C. Modular: This is the correct answer. Modular Inputs are designed to be
configurable via the Splunk Web UI and can collect data using custom or
predefined scripts, handling more complex data collection tasks. This is the type of
input that is used for collecting Windows-specific data such as Event Logs,
Performance Monitoring, and other similar inputs.
Li was asked to create a Splunk configuration to monitor syslog files stored on Linux
servers at their organization. This configuration will be pushed out to multiple systems via a
Splunk app using the on-prem deployment server.
The system administrators have provided Li with a directory listing for the logging locations
on three syslog hosts, which are representative of the file structure for all systems
collecting this data. An example from each system is shown below:
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Explanation: The correct monitor statement that will capture all variations of the syslog file
paths across different systems is [monitor:///var/log/network/syslog*/linux_secure/*].
This configuration works because:
syslog* matches directories that start with "syslog" (like syslog01, syslog02, etc.).
The wildcard * after linux_secure/ will capture all files within that directory,
including different filenames like syslog.log and syslog.log.2020090801.
This setup will ensure that all the necessary files from the different syslog hosts are
monitored.
What is the default port for sending data via HTTP Event Collector to Splunk Cloud?
A. 443
B. 8088
C. 9997
D. 8000
Explanation: The default port for HTTP Event Collector (HEC) in Splunk Cloud is 8088, which is used for data ingestion via HEC.
When using Splunk Universal Forwarders, which of the following is true?
A. No more than six Universal Forwarders may connect directly to Splunk Cloud.
B. Any number of Universal Forwarders may connect directly to Splunk Cloud.
C. Universal Forwarders must send data to an Intermediate Forwarder.
D. There must be one Intermediate Forwarder for every three Universal Forwarders.
Explanation: Universal Forwarders can connect directly to Splunk Cloud, and there is no limit on the number of Universal Forwarders that may connect directly to it. This capability allows organizations to scale their data ingestion easily by deploying as many Universal Forwarders as needed without the requirement for intermediate forwarders unless additional data processing, filtering, or load balancing is required.
