Which of the following is accurate regarding predefined drilldown tokens?

  1. They capture data from a form input.
  2. They vary by visualization type.
  3. There are eight categories of predefined drilldown tokens.
  4. They are defined by a panel's base search.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Predefined drilldown tokens in Splunk vary by visualization type. These tokens are placeholders that capture dynamic values based on user interactions with dashboard elements, such as clicking on a chart segment or table row. Different visualization types may have different drilldown tokens.



Which of the following statements is accurate regarding the append command?

  1. It is used with a subsearch and only accesses real-time searches.
  2. It is used with a subsearch and only accesses historical data.
  3. It cannot be used with a subsearch and only accesses historical data.
  4. It cannot be used with a subsearch and only accesses real-time searches.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The append command in Splunk is used with a subsearch to add additional data to the end of the primary search results and can access historical data, making it useful for combining datasets from different time ranges or sources.



What happens to panels with post-processing searches when their base search is refreshed?

  1. The panels are deleted.
  2. The panels are only refreshed if they have also been configured.
  3. The panels are refreshed automatically.
  4. Nothing happens to the panels.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When the base search of a dashboard panel with post-processing searches is refreshed, the panels with these post-processing searches are refreshed automatically to reflect the updated data.



Which of the following are potential string results returned by the typeof function?

  1. True, False, Unknown
  2. Number, String, Bool
  3. Number, String, Null
  4. Field, Value, Lookup

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The typeof function in Splunk is used to determine the data type of a field or value. It returns one of the following string results:

Number : Indicates that the value is numeric.
String : Indicates that the value is a text string.
Bool : Indicates that the value is a Boolean (true/false).
Here's why this works:
Purpose of typeof : The typeof function is commonly used in conjunction with the eval command to inspect the data type of fields or expressions. This is particularly useful when debugging or ensuring that fields are being processed as expected.
Return Values : The function categorizes values into one of the three primary data types supported by Splunk: Number, String, or Bool.
Example:
| makeresults
| eval example_field = "123"
| eval type = typeof(example_field)

This will produce:

_time example_field type
------------------- -------------- ------
<current_timestamp> 123 String

Other options explained:
Option A : Incorrect because True, False, and Unknown are not valid return values of the typeof function. These might be confused with Boolean logic but are not related to data type identification. Option C : Incorrect because Null is not a valid return value of typeof. Instead, Null represents the absence of a value, not a data type.
Option D : Incorrect because Field, Value, and Lookup are unrelated to the typeof function. These terms describe components of Splunk searches, not data types.

Which search generates a field with a value of "hello"?

  1. | makeresults field="hello"
  2. | makeresults | fields="hello"
  3. | makeresults | eval field="hello"
  4. | makeresults | eval field=make{"hello"}

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The correct search to generate a field with a value of "hello" is:
Copy
| makeresults | eval field="hello"
Here's why this works:
makeresults : This command creates a single event with no fields. eval : The eval command is used to create or modify fields. In this case, it creates a new field named field and assigns it the value "hello".
Example:

| makeresults
| eval field="hello"

This will produce a result like:
_time field
------------------- -----
<current_timestamp> hello
