Question 111

Which artifact is required in the request header when creating an HTTP event?
Explanation:
Reference:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.3/Data/FormateventsforHTTPEventCollector
When creating an HTTP event, the request header must include a token that identifies the HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint. The token is a 32-character hexadecimal string that is generated when the HEC endpoint is created. The token is used to authenticate the request and route the event data to the correct index. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [About HTTP Event Collector - Splunk Documentation]
Question 112

All search-time field extractions should be specified on which Splunk component?
Explanation:
Search-time field extractions are the process of extracting fields from events after they are indexed.
Search-time field extractions are specified on the search head, which is the Splunk component that handles searching and reporting. Search-time field extractions are configured in props.conf and transforms.conf files, which are located in the etc/system/local directory on the search head.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [About fields - Splunk Documentation]
Question 113

In addition to single, non-clustered Splunk instances, what else can the deployment server push apps to?
Explanation:
Reference: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Push-apps-fromdeployment-server-automatically-to-universal/m-p/328191
The deployment server is a Splunk component that distributes apps and other configurations to deployment clients, which are Splunk instances that receive updates from the deployment server.
The deployment server can push apps to single, non-clustered Splunk instances, as well as universal forwarders, which are lightweight Splunk agents that forward data to indexers. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [About deployment server and forwarder management - Splunk Documentation]
Question 114

What is the command to reset the fishbucket for one source?
Explanation:
Reference: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-can-I-trigger-the-re-indexing-ofa-single-file/m-p/108568
The fishbucket is a directory that stores information about the files that have been monitored and indexed by Splunk. The fishbucket helps Splunk avoid indexing duplicate data by keeping track of file signatures and offsets. To reset the fishbucket for one source, the command splunk cmd btprobe can be used with the -reset option and the name of the source file. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Question 115

Which setting allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line?
Explanation:
The setting that allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line is SHOULD_LINEMERGE. This setting determines whether consecutive lines from a single source should be concatenated into a single event. If SHOULD_LINEMERGE is set to true, Splunk will attempt to merge multiple lines into one event based on certain criteria, such as timestamps or regular expressions. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [Configure event line merging - Splunk Documentation]
Question 116

In this example, if useACK is set to true and the maxQueueSize is set to 7MB, what is the size of the wait queue on this universal forwarder?
Explanation:

Question 117

Which of the following are reasons to create separate indexes? (Choose all that apply.)
Explanation:
Reference: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Why-does-Splunk-have-multipleindexes/m-p/12063
Different retention times: You can set different retention policies for different indexes, depending on how long you want to keep the data. For example, you can have an index for security data that has a longer retention time than an index for performance data that has a shorter retention time.
Restrict user permissions: You can set different access permissions for different indexes, depending on who needs to see the data. For example, you can have an index for sensitive data that is only accessible by certain users or roles, and an index for public data that is accessible by everyone.
Question 118

Which network input option provides durable file-system buffering of data to mitigate data loss due to network outages and splunkd restarts?
Explanation:
Reference:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/8.2.2111/Data/Usepersistentqueues
Question 119

A new forwarder has been installed with a manually created deploymentclient.conf.
What is the next step to enable the communication between the forwarder and the deployment server?
Explanation:
The next step to enable the communication between the forwarder and the deployment server after installing a new forwarder with a manually created deploymentclient.conf is to restart Splunk on the deployment client. The deploymentclient.conf file contains the settings for the deployment client, which is a Splunk instance that receives updates from the deployment server. The file must include the targetUri attribute, which specifies the hostname and management port of the deployment server. To apply the changes in the deploymentclient.conf file, Splunk must be restarted on the deployment client. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Question 120

When using a directory monitor input, specific source type can be selectively overridden using which configuration file?
Explanation:
Reference:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/Data/Bypassautomaticsourcetypeassignment
When using a directory monitor input, specific source types can be selectively overridden using props.conf. The props.conf file contains settings for parsing and indexing data, as well as search-time field extractions. The props.conf file can be used to assign or change source types for specific inputs using the sourcetype attribute. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
