Splunk SPLK-1002 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 9

A report is a way to save a search and its results in a format that you can reuse and share with others2.A report is also a type of knowledge object, which is an entity that you create to add knowledge to your data and make it easier to search and analyze2. Therefore, option A is correct.A report can be scheduled, which means that you can configure it to run at regular intervals and send the results to yourself or others via email or other methods2. Therefore, option B is correct.A report can run a script, which means that you can specify a script file to execute when the report runs and use it to perform custom actions or integrations2. Therefore, option C is correct. Therefore, option D is correct because all of the above statements are true for reports.

The fields sidebar is a panel that shows the fields that are present in your search results2.The fields sidebar has two sections: 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.For each field in the fields sidebar, you can select one of the following options: events with this field, rare values, top values by time or top values2.If you select rare values, Splunk will automatically pipe your search results to the rare command, which shows the least common values of a field2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A, C and D are incorrect because they do not pipe your search results to the rare command.

A report that is scheduled to run every 15 minutes but takes 17 minutes to complete is in danger of being skipped or deferred2.This means that Splunk may skip some scheduled runs of the report if they overlap with previous runs that are still in progress or defer them until the previous runs are finished2.This can affect the accuracy and timeliness of the report results and notifications2. Therefore, option A is correct, while options B, C and D are incorrect because they are not consequences of a report taking longer than its schedule interval.

One of the valid options to speed up reports is to edit acceleration, which means that you can enable summary indexing or data model acceleration for your reports to improve their performance2.Summary indexing allows you to create reports that run over large amounts of data by storing the results of scheduled searches in a summary index and using that index for faster reporting2.Data model acceleration allows you to create reports that use data models by creating and storing summaries of the data model datasets and using them for faster reporting2. Therefore, option C is correct, while options A, B and D are incorrect because they are not options to speed up reports.
