Splunk SPLK-1004 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 4

The regex is passed to the makemv command in Splunk using the delim argument (Option B). This argument specifies the delimiter used to split a single string field into multiple values, effectively creating a multivalue field from a field that contains delimited data.

The process for tokenizing event data in Splunk is best described as breaking the event data up by major breakers and then further breaking it up by minor breakers (Option B). Major breakers typically identify the boundaries of events, while minor breakers further segment the event data into fields. This hierarchical approach to tokenization allows Splunk to efficiently parse and structure the incoming data for analysis.

A report qualifies for acceleration in Splunk if it involves fewer than 100,000 events in the search results and uses transforming commands in the search string (Option A). Transforming commands aggregate data, making it more suitable for acceleration by reducing the dataset's complexity and size, which in turn improves the speed and efficiency of report generation.

To always return events from between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM, assuming a standard time zone across the environment, the correct Splunk search syntax is earliest=-2h@h AND latest=-5h@h (Option B). This syntax uses relative time modifiers to specify a range starting 2 hours ago from the current hour (-2h@h) and ending 5 hours ago from the current hour (-5h@h), effectively capturing the desired time window.

To create a Log Event alert action in Splunk, a power user needs the edit_alerts capability (Option D). This capability allows the user to configure and manage alert actions, including setting up alerts to log specific events based on predefined conditions within Splunk's alerting framework.

When referencing multiple CSS files in a Splunk dashboard view (within Simple XML), the correct approach is to include separate stylesheet attributes for each CSS file. The syntax for this would be similar to <dashboard stylesheet='custom.css' stylesheet='userapps.css'> (Option C). This method allows the dashboard to load and apply the styles from both CSS files, enhancing the dashboard's visual appearance and user interface design.
