Question 3

Which statement is correct?

  1. In general, search commands that can be distributed to the search peers should occur as early as possible in a well-tuned search.

  2. As a streaming command, streamstats performs better than stats since stats is just a reporting command.

  3. When trying to reduce a search result to unique elements, the dedup command is the only way to achieve this.

  4. Formatting commands such as fieldformat should occur as early as possible in the search to take full advantage of the often larger number of search peers.

Correct answer: D

  1. Merging pipeline

  2. Indexing pipeline

  3. Typing pipeline

  4. Parsing pipeline

Correct answer: A

Question 5

What happens to the indexer cluster when the indexer Cluster Master (CM) runs out of disk space?

  1. A warm standby CM needs to be brought online as soon as possible before an indexer has an outage.

  2. The indexer cluster will continue to operate as long as no indexers fail.

  3. If the indexer cluster has site failover configured in the CM, the second cluster master will take over.

  4. The indexer cluster will continue to operate as long as a replacement CM is deployed within 24 hours.

Correct answer: C

Question 6

Question 7

In an environment that has Indexer Clustering, the Monitoring Console (MC) provides dashboards to monitor environment health. As the environment grows over time and new indexers are added, which steps would ensure the MC is aware of the additional indexers?

  1. No changes are necessary, the Monitoring Console has self-configuration capabilities.

  2. Using the MC setup UI, review and apply the changes.

  3. Remove and re-add the cluster master from the indexer clustering UI page to add new peers, then apply the changes under the MC setup UI.

  4. Each new indexer needs to be added using the distributed search UI, then settings must be saved under the MC setup UI.

Correct answer: B

Question 8

A working search head cluster has been set up and used for 6 months with just the native/local Splunk user authentication method. In order to integrate the search heads with an external Active Directory server using LDAP, which of the following statements represents the most appropriate method to deploy the configuration to the servers?

  1. Configure the integration in a base configuration app located in shcluster-apps directory on the search head deployer, then deploy the configuration to the search heads using the splunk apply shcluster-bundle command.

  2. Log onto each search using a command line utility. Modify the authentication.conf and authorize.conf files in a base configuration app to configure the integration.

  3. Configure the LDAP integration on one Search Head using the Settings > Access Controls > Authentication Method and Settings > Access Controls > Roles Splunk UI menus. The configuration setting will replicate to the other nodes in the search head cluster eliminating the need to do this on the other search heads.

  4. On each search head, login and configure the LDAP integration using the Settings > Access Controls > Authentication Method and Settings > Access Controls > Roles Splunk UI menus.

Correct answer: C

Question 9

A customer would like to remove the output_file capability from users with the default user role to stop them from filling up the disk on the search head with lookup files. What is the best way to remove this capability from users?

  1. Create a new role without the output_file capability that inherits the default user role and assign it to the users.

  2. Create a new role with the output_file capability that inherits the default user role and assign it to the users.

  3. Edit the default user role and remove the output_file capability.

  4. Clone the default user role, remove the output_file capability, and assign it to the users.

Correct answer: C

Question 10

A customer has 30 indexers in an indexer cluster configuration and two search heads. They are working on writing SPL search for a particular use-case, but are concerned that it takes too long to run for short time durations.

How can the Search Job Inspector capabilities be used to help validate and understand the customer concerns?

  1. Search Job Inspector provides statistics to show how much time and the number of events each indexer has processed.

  2. Search Job Inspector provides a Search Health Check capability that provides an optimized SPL query the customer should try instead.

  3. Search Job Inspector cannot be used to help troubleshoot the slow performing search; customer should review index=_introspection instead.

  4. The customer is using the transaction SPL search command, which is known to be slow.
