Splunk SPLK-1002 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 8

A workflow action is a link that appears when you click an event field value in your search results2.A workflow action can open a web page or run another search based on the field value2.There are two types of workflow actions: GET and POST2.A GET workflow action appends the field value to the end of a URI and opens it in a web browser2.A POST workflow action sends the field value as part of an HTTP request to a web server2.When creating a Search workflow action, which is a type of GET workflow action that runs another search based on the field value, the only required field is the search string2.The search string defines the search that will be run when the workflow action is clicked2. Therefore, option A is correct, while options B, C and D are incorrect because they are not required fields for creating a Search workflow action.

Selected fields are fields that you choose to display in your search results by clicking on them in the Fields sidebar or by using the fields command2.Selected fields are displayed below each event in the search results, along with their values2. Therefore, option A is correct, while options B, C and D are incorrect because they are not places where selected fields are displayed.

A space is an implied AND in a search string, which means that it acts as a logical operator that returns events that match both terms on either side of the space2.For example,status=200 method=GETwill return events that have both status=200 and method=GET2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A, C and D are incorrect because they are not implied by a space in a search string.

The timeline is a graphical representation of your search results that shows the distribution of events over time2.You can use the timeline to zoom in or out of a specific time range or to select one or more bars on the timeline to filter your results by that time range2.However, these actions will not re-run the search, but rather refine the existing results based on the selected time range2. Therefore, options B, C and D are correct, while option A is incorrect because zooming out will re-run the search with a broader time range.

Highlighted search terms indicate matching search results in Splunk, which means that they show which parts of your events match your search string2.For example, if you search forerror OR fail, Splunk will highlight error or fail in your events to show which events match your search string2. Therefore, option D is correct, while options A, B and C are incorrect because they are not indicated by highlighted search terms.

When you mouse over and click to add a search term from the Fields sidebar or from an event in your search results, Splunk automatically adds the term to your search string with an implied AND operator2. However, this does not apply to some Boolean operators such as OR, NOT and parentheses ().These operators are not implied when you add a search term and you have to type them manually if you want to use them in your search string2. Therefore, options A, B and D are correct, while option C is incorrect because AND is implied when you add a search term.

The time range specified for a historical search defines the amount of data fetched from the index matching that time range2.A historical search is a search that runs over a fixed period of time in the past2.When you run a historical search, Splunk searches the index for events that match your search string and fall within the specified time range2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A and C are incorrect because they are not what the time range defines for a historical search.

Using the export function, you can export search results as XML or JSON2.The export function allows you to save your search results in a structured format that can be used by other applications or tools2.You can use the output_mode parameter to specify whether you want to export your results as XML or JSON2. Therefore, options A and B are correct, while options C and D are incorrect because they are not formats that you can export your search results as.

The fields sidebar is a panel that shows the fields that are present in your search results2.The fields sidebar does not show all extracted fields, which are fields that are extracted from your raw data using various methods such as regular expressions, delimiters or key-value pairs2.The fields sidebar only shows selected fields and interesting fields2.Selected fields are fields that you choose to display in your search results by clicking on them in the fields sidebar or by using the fields command2.Interesting fields are fields that appear in at least 20 percent of events or have high variability among values2. Therefore, option C is correct, while options A and B are incorrect because they are types of fields that the fields sidebar does show.
