SPLK-1001 Exam Dumps - Splunk Core Certified User

Explanation/Reference:

The stats command calculates statistics based on fields in the events. The count function counts the number of events that match the criteria. The syntax is stats count (field_name), where field_name is the name of the field that contains the value to be counted. In this case, vendor_action is the field name, so stats count (vendor_action) is the correct syntax. References: Splunk Core User Certification Exam Study Guide, page 23.

The search query index=myindex source=c: \mydata. txt NOT error=* specifies three criteria for the events to be returned:

• The index must be myindex, which is a user-defined index that contains the data from a specific source or sources.
• The source must be c: \mydata. txt, which is the name of the file or directory where the data came from.
• The error field must not exist in the events, which is indicated by the NOT operator and the wildcard character (*).

The NOT operator negates the following expression, which means that it returns the events that do not match the expression. The wildcard character () matches any value, including an empty value or a null value. Therefore, the expression NOT error= means that the events must not have an error field at all, regardless of its value.

The search query does not use quotation marks around the source value, which means that it is case-sensitive and exact. If there are any variations in the source name, such as capitalization or spacing, they will not match the query.

The Power role contains the minimum permissions required to have write access to Splunk alerts. The User role can only view alerts created by others, but cannot create or modify them. The Alerting role is not a default role in Splunk, but a custom one that can be created by an administrator. The Admin role has write access to Splunk alerts, but also has many other permissions that are not necessary for alerting3.
