When implementing KV Store Collections in a search head cluster, which of the following considerations is true?


A. The KV Store Primary coordinates with the search head cluster captain when collection content changes.


B. The search head cluster captain is also the KV Store Primary when collection content changes.


C. The KV Store Collection will not allow for changes to content if there are more than 50 search heads in the cluster.


D. Each search head in the cluster independently updates its KV store collection when collection content changes.





B.
  The search head cluster captain is also the KV Store Primary when collection content changes.

Explanation: According to the Splunk documentation1, in a search head cluster, the KV Store Primary is the same node as the search head cluster captain. The KV Store Primary is responsible for coordinating the replication of KV Store data across the cluster members. When any node receives a write request, the KV Store delegates the write to the KV Store Primary. The KV Store keeps the reads local, however. This ensures that the KV Store data is consistent and available across the cluster.

Which of the following most improves KV Store resiliency?


A. Decrease latency between search heads.


B. Add faster storage to the search heads to improve artifact replication.


C. Add indexer CPU and memory to decrease search latency.


D. Increase the size of the Operations Log.





A.
  Decrease latency between search heads.

Explanation:

  • KV Store is a feature of Splunk Enterprise that allows apps to store and retrieve data within the context of an app1.
  • KV Store resides on search heads and replicates data across the members of a search head cluster1.
  • KV Store resiliency refers to the ability of KV Store to maintain data availability and consistency in the event of failures or disruptions2.
  • One of the factors that affects KV Store resiliency is the network latency between search heads, which can impact the speed and reliability of data replication2.
  • Decreasing latency between search heads can improve KV Store resiliency by reducing the chances of data loss, inconsistency, or corruption2.
  • The other options are not directly related to KV Store resiliency. Faster storage, indexer CPU and memory, and Operations Log size may affect other aspects of Splunk performance, but not KV Store345.

New data has been added to a monitor input file. However, searches only show older data. Which splunkd. log channel would help troubleshoot this issue?


A. Modularlnputs


B. TailingProcessor


C. ChunkedLBProcessor


D. ArchiveProcessor





B.
  TailingProcessor

Explanation: The TailingProcessor channel in the splunkd.log file would help troubleshoot this issue, because it contains information about the files that Splunk monitors and indexes, such as the file path, size, modification time, and CRC checksum. It also logs any errors or warnings that occur during the file monitoring process, such as permission issues, file rotation, or file truncation. The TailingProcessor channel can help identify if Splunk is reading the new data from the monitor input file or not, and what might be causing the problem. Option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the ModularInputs channel logs information about the modular inputs that Splunk uses to collect data from external sources, such as scripts, APIs, or custom applications. It does not log information about the monitor input file. Option C is incorrect because the ChunkedLBProcessor channel logs information about the load balancing process that Splunk uses to distribute data among multiple indexers. It does not log information about the monitor input file. Option D is incorrect because the ArchiveProcessor channel logs information about the archive process that Splunk uses to move data from the hot/warm buckets to the cold/frozen buckets. It does not log information about the monitor input file12.

A Splunk instance has crashed, but no crash log was generated. There is an attempt to determine what user activity caused the crash by running the following search:

What does searching for closed_txn=0 do in this search?


A. Filters results to situations where Splunk was started and stopped multiple times.


B. Filters results to situations where Splunk was started and stopped once.


C. Filters results to situations where Splunk was stopped and then immediately restarted.


D. Filters results to situations where Splunk was started, but not stopped.





D.
  Filters results to situations where Splunk was started, but not stopped.

Explanation: Searching for closed_txn=0 in this search filters results to situations where Splunk was started, but not stopped. This means that the transaction was not completed, and Splunk crashed before it could finish the pipelines. The closed_txn field is added by the transaction command, and it indicates whether the transaction was closed by an event that matches the endswith condition1. A value of 0 means that the transaction was not closed, and a value of 1 means that the transaction was closed1. Therefore, option D is the correct answer, and options A, B, and C are incorrect.

Which of the following is true regarding the migration of an index cluster from single-site to multi-site?


A. Multi-site policies will apply to all data in the indexer cluster.


B. All peer nodes must be running the same version of Splunk.


C. Existing single-site attributes must be removed.


D. Single-site buckets cannot be converted to multi-site buckets.





C.
  Existing single-site attributes must be removed.

Explanation:
According to the Splunk documentation1, when migrating an indexer cluster from singlesite to multi-site, you must remove the existing single-site attributes from the server.conf file of each peer node. These attributes include replication_factor, search_factor, and cluster_label. You must also restart each peer node after removing the attributes. The other options are false because:

  • Multi-site policies will apply only to the data created after migration, unless you configure the manager node to convert legacy buckets to multi-site1.
  • All peer nodes do not need to run the same version of Splunk, as long as they are compatible with the manager node2.
  • Single-site buckets can be converted to multi-site buckets by changing the constrain_singlesite_buckets setting in the manager node’s server.conf file to "false"1.

Which Splunk internal field can confirm duplicate event issues from failed file monitoring?


A. _time


B. _indextime


C. _index_latest


D. latest





B.
  _indextime

Explanation:
According to the Splunk documentation1, the _indextime field is the time when Splunk indexed the event. This field can be used to confirm duplicate event issues from failed file monitoring, as it can show you when each duplicate event was indexed and if they have different _indextime values. You can use the Search Job Inspector to inspect the search job that returns the duplicate events and check the _indextime field for each event2. The other options are false because:

  • The _time field is the time extracted from the event data, not the time when Splunk indexed the event. This field may not reflect the actual indexing time, especially if the event data has a different time zone or format than the Splunk server1.
  • The _index_latest field is not a valid Splunk internal field, as it does not exist in the Splunk documentation or the Splunk data model3.
  • The latest field is a field that represents the latest time bound of a search, not the time when Splunk indexed the event. This field is used to specify the time range of a search, along with the earliest field4.
