Which Splunk Enterprise offering has its own license?

  1. Splunk Cloud Forwarder
  2. Splunk Heavy Forwarder
  3. Splunk Universal Forwarder
  4. Splunk Forwarder Management

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Splunk Universal Forwarder is the only Splunk Enterprise offering that has its own license. The Splunk Universal Forwarder license allows the forwarder to send data to any Splunk Enterprise or

Splunk Cloud instance without consuming any license quota. The Splunk Heavy Forwarder does not have its own license, but rather consumes the license quota of the Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud instance that it sends data to. The Splunk Cloud Forwarder and the Splunk Forwarder Management are not separate Splunk Enterprise offerings, but rather features of the Splunk Cloud service. For more information, see [About forwarder licensing] in the Splunk documentation.



Which component in the splunkd.log will log information related to bad event breaking?

  1. Audittrail
  2. EventBreaking
  3. IndexingPipeline
  4. AggregatorMiningProcessor

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The AggregatorMiningProcessor component in the splunkd.log file will log information related to bad event breaking. The AggregatorMiningProcessor is responsible for breaking the incoming data into events and applying the props.conf settings. If there is a problem with the event breaking, such as incorrect timestamps, missing events, or merged events, the AggregatorMiningProcessor will log the error or warning messages in the splunkd.log file. The Audittrail component logs information about the audit events, such as user actions, configuration changes, and search activity. The EventBreaking component logs information about the event breaking rules, such as the LINE_BREAKER and SHOULD_LINEMERGE settings. The IndexingPipeline component logs information about the indexing pipeline, such as the parsing, routing, and indexing phases. For more information, see About Splunk Enterprise logging and [Configure event line breaking] in the Splunk documentation.



Which Splunk server role regulates the functioning of indexer cluster?

  1. Indexer
  2. Deployer
  3. Master Node
  4. Monitoring Console

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The master node is the Splunk server role that regulates the functioning of the indexer cluster. The master node coordinates the activities of the peer nodes, such as data replication, data searchability, and data recovery. The master node also manages the cluster configuration bundle and distributes it to the peer nodes. The indexer is the Splunk server role that indexes the incoming data and makes it searchable. The deployer is the Splunk server role that distributes apps and configuration updates to the search head cluster members. The monitoring console is the Splunk server role that monitors the health and performance of the Splunk deployment. For more information, see About indexer clusters and index replication in the Splunk documentation.



When adding or rejoining a member to a search head cluster, the following error is displayed:
Error pulling configurations from the search head cluster captain; consider performing a destructive configuration resync on this search head cluster member.

What corrective action should be taken?

  1. Restart the search head.
  2. Run the splunk apply shcluster-bundle command from the deployer.
  3. Run the clean raft command on all members of the search head cluster.
  4. Run the splunk resync shcluster-replicated-config command on this member.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When adding or rejoining a member to a search head cluster, and the following error is displayed:
Error pulling configurations from the search head cluster captain; consider performing a destructive configuration resync on this search head cluster member. The corrective action that should be taken is to run the splunk resync shcluster-replicated-config command on this member. This command will delete the existing configuration files on this member and replace them with the latest configuration files from the captain. This will ensure that the member has the same configuration as the rest of the cluster. Restarting the search head, running the splunk apply shcluster-bundle command from the deployer, or running the clean raft command on all members of the search head cluster are not the correct actions to take in this scenario. For more information, see Resolve configuration inconsistencies across cluster members in the Splunk documentation.



Which of the following commands is used to clear the KV store?

  1. splunk clean kvstore
  2. splunk clear kvstore
  3. splunk delete kvstore
  4. splunk reinitialize kvstore

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The splunk clean kvstore command is used to clear the KV store. This command will delete all the collections and documents in the KV store and reset it to an empty state. This command can be useful for troubleshooting KV store issues or resetting the KV store data. The splunk clear kvstore, splunk delete kvstore, and splunk reinitialize kvstore commands are not valid Splunk commands. For more information, see Use the CLI to manage the KV store in the Splunk documentation.
