Which artifact is required in the request header when creating an HTTP event?

ackID
ackID
Token
Token
Manifest
Manifest
Host name
Host name
Suggested answer: B

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]

All search-time field extractions should be specified on which Splunk component?

Deployment server
Deployment server
Universal forwarder
Universal forwarder
Indexer
Indexer
Search head
Search head
Suggested answer: D

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]

In addition to single, non-clustered Splunk instances, what else can the deployment server push apps to?

Universal forwarders
Universal forwarders
Splunk Cloud
Splunk Cloud
Linux package managers
Linux package managers
Windows using WMI
Windows using WMI
Suggested answer: A

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]

What is the command to reset the fishbucket for one source?

rm -r ~/splunkforwarder/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket
splunk clean eventdata -index _thefishbucket
splunk clean eventdata -index _thefishbucket

splunk cmd btprobe -d SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket/splunk_private_db --file <source> --reset
splunk btool fishbucket reset <source>
splunk btool fishbucket reset <source>
Suggested answer: C

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.

Which setting allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line?

SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = <REGEX pattern>
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = <REGEX pattern>
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
Suggested answer: A

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]

Which of the following are reasons to create separate indexes? (Choose all that apply.)

Different retention times.
Different retention times.
Increase number of users.
Increase number of users.
Restrict user permissions.
Restrict user permissions.
File organization.
File organization.
Suggested answer: A, C

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.

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?

Restart Splunk on the deployment client.
Wait for up to the time set in the phoneHomeIntervalInSecs setting.
Wait for up to the time set in the phoneHomeIntervalInSecs setting.
Suggested answer: C

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.

When using a directory monitor input, specific source type can be selectively overridden using which configuration file?

props.conf
props.conf
sourcetypes.conf
sourcetypes.conf
transforms.conf
transforms.conf
outputs.conf
outputs.conf
Suggested answer: A

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.
