Which statement is true about monitor inputs?
A. Monitor inputs are configured in the monitor, conf file.
B. The ignoreOlderThan option allows files to be ignored based on the file modification time.
C. The crSalt setting is required.
D. Monitor inputs can ignore a file's existing content, indexing new data as it arrives, by configuring the tailProcessor option.
Explanation: The statement about monitor inputs that is true is that the ignoreOlderThan option allows files to be ignored based on their file modification time. This setting helps prevent Splunk from indexing older data that is not relevant or needed.
When creating a new index, which of the following is true about archiving expired events?
A. Store expired events in private AWS-based storage.
B. Expired events cannot be archived.
C. Archive some expired events from an index and discard others.
D. Store expired events on-prem using your own storage systems.
Explanation: In Splunk Cloud, expired events can be archived to customermanaged storage solutions, such as on-premises storage. This allows organizations to retain data beyond the standard retention period if needed.
Which of the following are features of a managed Splunk Cloud environment?
A. Availability of premium apps, no IP address whitelisting or blacklisting, deployed in US East AWS region.
B. 20GB daily maximum data ingestion, no SSO integration, no availability of premium apps.
C. Availability of premium apps, SSO integration, IP address whitelisting and blacklisting
D. Availability of premium apps, SSO integration, maximum concurrent search limit of 20.
Explanation: In a managed Splunk Cloud environment, several features are available to
ensure that the platform is secure, scalable, and meets enterprise requirements. The key
features include:
Availability of premium apps: Splunk Cloud supports the installation and use of
premium apps such as Splunk Enterprise Security, IT Service Intelligence, etc.
SSO Integration: Single Sign-On (SSO) integration is supported, allowing
organizations to leverage their existing identity providers for authentication.
IP address whitelisting and blacklisting: To enhance security, managed Splunk
Cloud environments allow for IP address whitelisting and blacklisting to control
access.
Given the options:
Option C correctly lists these features, making it the accurate choice.
Option A incorrectly states "no IP address whitelisting or blacklisting," which is
indeed available.
Option B mentions "no SSO integration" and "no availability of premium apps,"
both of which are inaccurate.
Option D talks about a "maximum concurrent search limit of 20," which does not
represent the standard limit settings and may vary based on the subscription level.
Which of the following files is used for both search-time and index-time configuration?
A. inputs.conf
B. props.conf
C. macros.conf
D. savesearch.conf
Explanation: The props.conf file is a crucial configuration file in Splunk that is used for
both search-time and index-time configurations.
At index-time, props.conf is used to define how data should be parsed and
indexed, such as timestamp recognition, line breaking, and data transformations.
At search-time, props.conf is used to configure how data should be searched and
interpreted, such as field extractions, lookups, and sourcetypes.
B. props.conf is the correct answer because it is the only file listed that serves both
index-time and search-time purposes.
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.
