QUESTION: 5

When using Splunk Universal Forwarders, which of the following is true?

No more than six Universal Forwarders may connect directly to Splunk Cloud.
Any number of Universal Forwarders may connect directly to Splunk Cloud.
Universal Forwarders must send data to an Intermediate Forwarder.
There must be one Intermediate Forwarder for every three Universal Forwarders.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Universal Forwarders can connect directly to Splunk Cloud, and there is no limit on the number of Universal Forwarders that may connect directly to it. This capability allows organizations to scale their data ingestion easily by deploying as many Universal Forwarders as needed without the requirement for intermediate forwarders unless additional data processing, filtering, or load balancing is required.

QUESTION: 6

In which of the following situations should Splunk Support be contacted?

When a custom search needs tuning due to not performing as expected.
When an app on Splunkbase indicates Request Install.
Before using the delete command.
When a new role that mirrors sc_admin is required.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In Splunk Cloud, when an app on Splunkbase indicates "Request Install," it means that the app is not available for direct self-service installation and requires intervention from Splunk Support. This could be because the app needs to undergo an additional review for compatibility with the managed cloud environment or because it requires special installation procedures. In these cases, customers need to contact Splunk Support to request the installation of the app. Support will ensure that the app is properly vetted and compatible with Splunk Cloud before proceeding with the installation.

QUESTION: 7

The following Apache access log is being ingested into Splunk via a monitor input:

How does Splunk determine the time zone for this event?

The value of the TZ attribute in props. cont for the a :ces3_ccwbined sourcetype.
The value of the TZ attribute in props, conf for the my.webserver.example host.
The time zone of the Heavy/Intermediate Forwarder with the monitor input.
The time zone indicator in the raw event data.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

In Splunk, when ingesting logs such as an Apache access log, the time zone for each event is typically determined by the time zone indicator present in the raw event data itself. In the log snippet you provided, the time zone is indicated by -0400, which specifies that the event's timestamp is 4 hours behind UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
Splunk uses this information directly from the event to properly parse the timestamp and apply the correct time zone. This ensures that the event's time is accurately reflected regardless of the time zone in which the Splunk instance or forwarder is located. Splunk Cloud

For further details, you can review Splunk documentation on timestamp recognition and time zone handling, especially in relation to log files and data ingestion configurations.

QUESTION: 8

What syntax is required in inputs.conf to ingest data from files or directories?

A monitor stanza, sourcetype, and Index is required to ingest data.
A monitor stanza, sourcetype, index, and host is required to ingest data.
A monitor stanza and sourcetype is required to ingest data.
Only the monitor stanza is required to ingest data.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In Splunk, to ingest data from files or directories, the basic configuration in inputs.conf requires at least the following elements:
monitor stanza: Specifies the file or directory to be monitored. sourcetype: Identifies the format or type of the incoming data, which helps Splunk to correctly parse it.
index: Determines where the data will be stored within Splunk. The host attribute is optional, as Splunk can auto-assign a host value, but specifying it can be useful in certain scenarios. However, it is not mandatory for data ingestion. Splunk Cloud
