Question 31

Which of the following knowledge objects represents the output of an eval expression?
Explanation:
The eval command is used to create new fields or modify existing fields based on an expression2.The output of an eval expression is a calculated field, which is a field that you create based on the value of another field or fields2.You can use calculated fields to enrich your data with additional information or to transform your data into a more useful format2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A, C and D are incorrect because they are not names of knowledge objects that represent the output of an eval expression.
Question 32

A calculated field maybe based on which of the following?
Explanation:
As mentioned before, a calculated field is a field that you create based on the value of another field or fields2.A calculated field can be based on extracted fields, which are fields that are extracted from your raw data using various methods such as regular expressions, delimiters or key-value pairs2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A, C and D are incorrect because they are not types of fields that a calculated field can be based on.
Question 33

Which of the following eval command function is valid?
Explanation:
The eval command supports a number of functions that you can use in your expressions to perform calculations, conversions, string manipulations and more2.One of the eval command functions is tostring(), which converts a numeric value to a string value2. Therefore, option D is correct, while options A, B and C are incorrect because they are not valid eval command functions.
Question 34

Which of the following Statements about macros is true? (select all that apply)
Explanation:
A macro is a way to save a commonly used search string as a variable that you can reuse in other searches1.When you create a macro, you can define arguments that are placeholders for values that you specify at execution time1.The argument values are used to resolve the search string when the macro is invoked, not when it is created1. Therefore, statements B and C are true, while statements A and D are false.
Question 35

What is required for a macro to accept three arguments?
Explanation:
To create a macro that accepts arguments, you must include the number of arguments in parentheses at the end of the macro name1. For example,my_macro(3)is a macro that accepts three arguments.The number of arguments in the macro name must match the number of arguments in the definition1. Therefore, option A is correct, while options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 36

Which of the following statements describes POST workflow actions?
Explanation:
A workflow action is a link that appears when you click an event field value in your search results1.A workflow action can open a web page or run another search based on the field value1.There are two types of workflow actions: GET and POST1.A GET workflow action appends the field value to the end of a URI and opens it in a web browser1.A POST workflow action sends the field value as part of an HTTP request to a web server1.You can configure a workflow action to open a web page in either the same window or a new window1. Therefore, option D is correct, while options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 37

Which of the following searches show a valid use of macro? (Select all that apply)
Explanation:
To use a macro in a search, you must enclose the macro name and any arguments in single quotation marks1. For example,'my_macro(arg1,arg2)'is a valid way to use a macro with two arguments.You can use macros anywhere in your search string where you would normally use a search command or expression1. Therefore, options A and C are valid searches that use macros, while options B and D are invalid because they do not enclose the macros in single quotation marks.
Question 38

Which of the following workflow actions can be executed from search results? (select all that apply)
Explanation:
As mentioned before, there are two types of workflow actions: GET and POST1.Both types of workflow actions can be executed from search results by clicking on an event field value that has a workflow action configured for it1.Another type of workflow action is Search, which runs another search based on the field value1. Therefore, options A, B and D are correct, while option C is incorrect because LOOKUP is not a type of workflow action.
Question 39

Which of the following is the correct way to use the data model command to search field in the data model within the web dataset?
Explanation:
The data model command allows you to run searches on data models that have been accelerated1.The syntax for using the data model command is| datamodel <model_name> <dataset_name> [search <search_string>]1. Therefore, option A is the correct way to use the data model command to search fields in the data model within the web dataset. Options B and C are incorrect because they do not follow the syntax for the data model command. Option D is incorrect because it does not use the data model command at all.
Question 40

Which of the following searches will return events contains a tag name Privileged?
Explanation:
A tag is a descriptive label that you can apply to one or more fields or field values in your events1.You can use tags to simplify your searches by replacing long or complex field names or values with short and simple tags1.To search for events that contain a tag name, you can use the tag keyword followed by an equal sign and the tag name1.You can also use wildcards (*) to match partial tag names1. Therefore, option B is correct because it will return events that contain a tag name that starts with Pri. Options A and D are incorrect because they will only return events that contain an exact tag name match. Option C is incorrect because it will return events that contain a tag name that starts with Priv, not Privileged.
