QUESTION: 9

A user has been asked to mask some sensitive data without tampering with the structure of the file /var/log/purchase/transactions. log that has the following format:

A)

B)

C)

D)

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Option B is the correct approach because it properly uses a TRANSFORMS stanza in props.conf to reference the transforms.conf for removing sensitive data. The transforms stanza in transforms.conf uses a regular expression (REGEX) to locate the sensitive data (in this case, the SuperSecretNumber) and replaces it with a masked version using the FORMAT directive.
In detail:
props.conf refers to the transforms.conf stanza remove_sensitive_data by setting TRANSFORMS- cleanup = remove_sensitive_data.
transforms.conf defines the regular expression that matches the sensitive data and specifies how the sensitive data should be replaced in the FORMAT directive. This approach ensures that sensitive information is masked before indexing without altering the structure of the log files.

Reference:

For further reference, you can look at Splunk's documentation regarding data masking and transformation through props.conf and transforms.conf.

QUESTION: 10

Which of the following are valid settings for file and directory monitor inputs? A)

B)

C)

D)

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In Splunk, when configuring file and directory monitor inputs, several settings are available that control how data is indexed and processed. These settings are defined in the inputs.conf file. Among the given options:
host: Specifies the hostname associated with the data. It can be set to a static value, or dynamically assigned using settings like host_regex or host_segment. index: Specifies the index where the data will be stored. sourcetype: Defines the data type, which helps Splunk to correctly parse and process the data. TCP_Routing: Used to route data to specific indexers in a distributed environment based on TCP routing rules.
host_regex: Allows you to extract the host from the path or filename using a regular expression. host_segment: Identifies the segment of the directory structure (path) to use as the host.
Given the options:
Option B is correct because it includes host, index, sourcetype, TCP_Routing, host_regex, and host_segment. These are all valid settings for file and directory monitor inputs in Splunk.
Splunk Documentation

Reference:

TCP Routing in Inputs
By referring to the Splunk documentation on configuring inputs, it's clear that Option B aligns with the valid settings used for file and directory monitoring, making it the correct choice.

QUESTION: 11

Which of the following is not a path used by Splunk to execute scripts?

SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/bin
SPLUNK HOME/etc/appa/<app name>/bin
SPLUNKHOMS/ctc/scripts/local
SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Splunk executes scripts from specific directories that are structured within its installation paths.
These directories typically include:

SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/bin: This directory is used to store scripts that are part of the core Splunk system configuration.
SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app name>/bin: Each Splunk app can have its own bin directory where scripts specific to that app are stored.
SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts: This is a standard directory for storing scripts that may be globally accessible within Splunk's environment.
However, C. SPLUNKHOMS/ctc/scripts/local is not a recognized or standard path used by Splunk for executing scripts. This path does not adhere to the typical directory structure within the SPLUNK_HOME environment, making it the correct answer as it does not correspond to a valid script execution path in Splunk.

Availability of premium apps, no IP address whitelisting or blacklisting, deployed in US East AWS region.
20GB daily maximum data ingestion, no SSO integration, no availability of premium apps.
Availability of premium apps, SSO integration, IP address whitelisting and blacklisting.
Availability of premium apps, SSO integration, maximum concurrent search limit of 20.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In a managed Splunk Cloud environment, several features are available to ensure that the platform is secure, scalable, and meets enterprise requirements. The key features include:
Availability of premium apps: Splunk Cloud supports the installation and use of premium apps such as Splunk Enterprise Security, IT Service Intelligence, etc. SSO Integration: Single Sign-On (SSO) integration is supported, allowing organizations to leverage their existing identity providers for authentication.
IP address whitelisting and blacklisting: To enhance security, managed Splunk Cloud environments allow for IP address whitelisting and blacklisting to control access.
Given the options:
Option C correctly lists these features, making it the accurate choice. Option A incorrectly states "no IP address whitelisting or blacklisting," which is indeed available. Option B mentions "no SSO integration" and "no availability of premium apps," both of which are inaccurate.
Option D talks about a "maximum concurrent search limit of 20," which does not represent the standard limit settings and may vary based on the subscription level.
