Which of the following describes a Splunk custom visualization?
A. A visualization with custom colors.
B. Any visualization available in Splunk.
C. A visualization in Splunk modified by the user.
D. A visualization that uses the Splunk Custom Visualization API.
Explanation: A Splunk custom visualization is a visualization that uses the Splunk Custom Visualization API. This API lets you create your own visualizations using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You can also use third-party libraries or frameworks to create custom visualizations. The other options are not custom visualizations, but rather variations of the built-in visualizations in Splunk. For more information, see [Custom visualizations overview].
What application security best practices should be adhered to while developing an app for Splunk? (Select all that apply.)
A. Review the OWASP Top Ten List.
B. Store passwords in clear text in .conf files.
C. Review the OWASP Secure Coding Practices Quick Reference Guide.
D. Ensure that third-party libraries that the app depends on have no outstanding CVE vulnerabilities.
Explanation: The correct answer is A, C, and D because these are the application security best practices that should be adhered to while developing an app for Splunk. Option A is correct because reviewing the OWASP Top Ten List can help you identify and avoid the most common web application security risks. Option C is correct because reviewing the OWASP Secure Coding Practices Quick Reference Guide can help you learn and apply the best practices for secure coding. Option D is correct because ensuring that third-party libraries that the app depends on have no outstanding CVE vulnerabilities can help you prevent potential exploits and attacks. Option B is incorrect because storing passwords in clear text in .conf files is a bad practice that can compromise the security and privacy of your app and your data. You can find more information about the application security best practices in the Splunk Developer Guide.
Which of the following statements describe one-shot searches? (Select all that apply.)
A. Are always executed asynchronously.
B. Can specify csv as an output format.
C. Stream all results upon search completion.
D. Can use autocancel to set a timeout limit.
Explanation: The correct answer is B and C because these are the statements that describe one-shot searches. A one-shot search is a type of search that runs once and returns all the results at once. Option B is correct because a one-shot search can specify csv as an output format, which returns the results as comma-separated values. Option C is correct because a one-shot search streams all the results upon search completion, which means it does not return any partial results while the search is running. Option A is incorrect because a one-shot search can be executed either synchronously or asynchronously, depending on the method used. Option D is incorrect because a one-shot search cannot use auto_cancel to set a timeout limit, as this parameter is only applicable for normal searches. You can find more information about one-shot searches in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.
Which of the following is a security best practice?
A. Enable XSS.
B. Eliminate all escape characters.
C. Ensure the app passes App Certification.
D. Ensure components have no Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) vulnerabilities.
Explanation: The correct answer is D, because ensuring components have no Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) vulnerabilities is a security best practice for developing Splunk apps. CVE is a list of publicly disclosed information security vulnerabilities and exposures1. Splunk recommends using tools such as npm audit, retire.js, and snyk to scan your app components for CVE vulnerabilities2.
Which of the following is a customization option for the Open in Search panel link button?
A. Display the refresh time.
B. Show the Export Results button.
C. Show link buttons at the bottom of a panel.
D. Define an alternative search or target view to use.
Explanation: The correct answer is D, because defining an alternative search or target view to use is a customization option for the Open in Search panel link button. The Open in Search panel link button is a feature that allows the user to open the search results of a panel in a new search page. The alternative search or target view option allows the user to specify a different search string or a different view name to use when opening the search page4. The other options are not customization options for the Open in Search panel link button, but for the panel itself. Displaying the refresh time, showing the Export Results button, and showing link buttons at the bottom of a panel are all attributes that can be configured for a panel.
Which of the following ensures that quotation marks surround the value referenced by the token?
A. $token_name|s$
B. “$token_name$”
C. ($token_name$)
D. \“$token_name$\”
Explanation: The correct answer is A, because tokennames ensures that quotation marks surround the value referenced by the token. The |s modifier is used to escape special characters in the token value, such as quotation marks, commas, and colons. This is useful when the token value is used in a search string or a drilldown action1. The other options are incorrect because they either do not escape the special characters or add extra quotation marks.
Which of the following search commands can be used to perform statistical queries on indexed fields in TSIDX files?
A. stats
B. tstats
C. tscollect
D. transaction
Explanation: The correct answer is B, because the tstats command can be used to perform statistical queries on indexed fields in TSIDX files. TSIDX files are files that store the index data for Splunk, such as the events, timestamps, and fields. Indexed fields are fields that are extracted and stored in the TSIDX files at index time, which makes them faster to search than non-indexed fields. The tstats command is a search command that performs statistical calculations on indexed fields, such as count, sum, avg, and so on. The tstats command is faster than the stats command, which performs statistical calculations on any fields, because it does not need to retrieve the events from the index, but only the fields from the TSIDX files. The other options are not search commands that can be used to perform statistical queries on indexed fields in TSIDX files. The stats command performs statistical calculations on any fields, not just indexed fields. The tscollect command collects the results of a transforming search and writes them to a TSIDX file. The transaction command groups events into transactions based on common values.
