Splunk SPLK-1005 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 5

List of questions
Question 41

Which of the following is not considered a best practice for the deployment server?
Create small, single-purpose deployment apps.
Dedicate a Splunk instance as the deployment server.
Use a Linux server as the deployment server.
Create large, multi-purpose deployment apps.
In Splunk, it's considered best practice to create small, single-purpose deployment apps rather than large, multi-purpose ones. This approach ensures better manageability, easier updates, and clearer version control. Option D, which suggests creating large, multi-purpose deployment apps, is not a best practice.

Question 42

When is data deleted from a Splunk Cloud index?
When buckets roll to frozen, without a defined archive.
When data is deleted via the Splunk Cloud Admin GUI.
When TA_Delete is downloaded and enabled from SplunkBase.
When the daleteindex command is executed from the CLI.
In Splunk Cloud, data is deleted from an index when the buckets roll to the frozen stage and no archive is defined. When data in a bucket reaches the frozen stage, it is deleted unless a frozen-to-archival script is configured to move the data elsewhere. This process is part of the index lifecycle management in Splunk.

Question 43

What is the recommended method to test the onboarding of a new data source before putting it in production?
Send test data to a test index.
Send data to the associated production index.
Replicate Splunk deployment in a test environment.
Send data to the chance index.
The recommended method to test the onboarding of a new data source before putting it into production is to send test data to a test index. This approach allows you to validate data parsing, field extractions, and indexing behavior without affecting the production environment or data.

Question 44

Which of the following is an accurate statement about the delete command?
The delete command removes events from disk.
By default, only admins can run the delete command.
Events are virtually deleted by marking them as deleted.
Deleting events reclaims disk space.
The delete command in Splunk does not remove events from disk but rather marks them as 'deleted' in the index. This means the events are not accessible via searches, but they still occupy space on disk. Only users with the can_delete capability (typically admins) can use the delete command.

Question 45

What can be used in a Splunk Cloud environment to create new sourcetypes?
Data Preview
props. conf can be edited directly from the GUI
Splunk's CLI
Deployment Server
In a Splunk Cloud environment, the Data Preview feature is used to create and test new sourcetypes. This feature allows you to upload sample data, configure parsing settings, and define sourcetypes interactively without directly editing configuration files like props.conf or using the CLI.

Question 46

Which of the following tasks is the responsibility of a Splunk Cloud administrator?
Configuring deployer
Configuring cluster master
Configuring indexers
Configuring indexes
In Splunk Cloud, configuring indexes is one of the primary responsibilities of a Splunk Cloud administrator. This task includes setting up new indexes, managing retention policies, and configuring index settings as required by the organization's data retention and compliance policies. Other tasks like configuring deployer, cluster master, or indexers are typically handled by Splunk Enterprise administrators, not Splunk Cloud administrators.

Question 47

Which statement is true about monitor inputs?
Monitor inputs are configured in the monitor, conf file.
The ignoreOlderThan option allows files to be ignored based on the file modification time.
The crSalt setting is required.
Monitor inputs can ignore a file's existing content, indexing new data as it arrives, by configuring the tailProcessor option.
The statement about monitor inputs that is true is that the ignoreOlderThan option allows files to be ignored based on their file modification time. This setting helps prevent Splunk from indexing older data that is not relevant or needed.

Question 48

Where is the recommended place to deploy input apps that are not permitted on Splunk Cloud?
Question 49

For the following data, what would be the correct attribute/value oair to use to successfully extract the correct timestamp from all the events?
Question 50
