NEW QUESTION # 33
In a distributed environment, which Splunk component is used to distribute apps and configurations to the other Splunk instances?
- A. Deployment server
- B. Indexer
- C. Deployer
- D. Forwarder
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The deployer is a Splunk Enterprise instance that you use to distribute apps and certain other configuration updates to search head cluster members. The set of updates that the deployer distributes is called the configuration bundle.https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.3/DistSearch/PropagateSHCconfigurationchanges#:~
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Updating/Updateconfigurations First line says it all: "The deployment server distributes deployment apps to clients."

NEW QUESTION # 35
Running this search in a distributed environment:
On what Splunk component does the eval command get executed?
- A. Universal Forwarders
- B. Search peers
- C. Heavy Forwarders
- D. Search heads
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The eval command is a distributable streaming command, which means that it can run on the search peers in a distributed environment1. The search peers are the indexers that store the data and perform the initial steps of the search processing2. The eval command calculates an expression and puts the resulting value into a search results field1. In your search, you are using the eval command to create a new field called "responsible_team" based on the values in the "account" field.
NEW QUESTION # 36
What is a role in Splunk? (select all that apply)
- A. A classification that determines if a Splunk server can remotely control another Splunk server.
- B. A classification that determines what functions a Splunk server controls.
- C. A classification that determines what capabilities a user has.
- D. A classification that determines what indexes a user can search.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
A role in Splunk is a classification that determines what capabilities and indexes a user has. A capability is a permission to perform a specific action or access a specific feature on the Splunk platform1. An index is a collection of data that Splunk software processes and stores2. By assigning roles to users, you can control what they can do and what data they can access on the Splunk platform.
Therefore, the correct answers are A and D. A role in Splunk determines what capabilities and indexes a user has. Option B is incorrect because Splunk servers do not use roles to remotely control each other. Option C is incorrect because Splunk servers use instances and components to determine what functions they control3.
NEW QUESTION # 37

NEW QUESTION # 39
Which data pipeline phase is the last opportunity for defining event boundaries?
- A. Indexing phase
- B. Input phase
- C. Parsing phase
- D. Search phase
Answer: C
Explanation:
Reference https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.3/Admin/Configurationparametersandthedatapipeline The parsing phase is the process of extracting fields and values from raw data. The parsing phase respects LINE_BREAKER, SHOULD_LINEMERGE, BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE, and all other line merging settings in props.conf. These settings determine how Splunk breaks the data into events based on certain criteria, such as timestamps or regular expressions. The event boundaries are defined by the props.conf file, which can be modified by the administrator. Therefore, the parsing phase is the last opportunity for defining event boundaries.
NEW QUESTION # 40

In this source definition the MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKHEAD is missing. Which value would fit best?
Event example:
- A. MAX_TIMESTAMF_LOOKHEAD = 20
- B. MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD - 10
- C. MAX TIMESTAMP LOOKAHEAD - 30
- D. MAX_TIMESTAMP_L0CKAHEAD = 5
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/Data/Configuretimestamprecognition
"Specify how far (how many characters) into an event Splunk software should look for a timestamp." since TIME_PREFIX = ^ and timestamp is from 0-29 position, so D=30 will pick up the WHOLE timestamp correctly.

- A. _audit
- B. _introspection
- C. _thefishbucket
- D. _checkpoint
Answer: C

NEW QUESTION # 47
A user recently installed an application to index NCINX access logs. After configuring the application, they realize that no data is being ingested. Which configuration file do they need to edit to ingest the access logs to ensure it remains unaffected after upgrade?
- A. Option B
- B. Option C
- C. Option D
- D. Option A
Answer: D
Explanation:
This option corresponds to the file path "$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_TA_nginx/local/inputs.conf". This is the configuration file that the user needs to edit to ingest the NGINX access logs to ensure it remains unaffected after upgrade. This is explained in the Splunk documentation, which states:
The local directory is where you place your customized configuration files. The local directory is empty when you install Splunk Enterprise. You create it when you need to override or add to the default settings in a configuration file. The local directory is never overwritten during an upgrade.

Groups inherit capabilities form the highest level role they're a member of." "If your LDAP environment does not have group entries, you can treat each user as its own group."
