Contextual drilldown allows values from user clicks to be passed into another dashboard or external page, making dashboards interactive and responsive to user input.
Question # 10
How can a lookup be referenced in an alert?
A.
Use the lookup dropdown in the alert configuration window.
B.
Follow a lookup with an alert command in the search bar.
C.
Run a search that uses a lookup and save as an alert.
In Splunk, a lookup can be referenced in an alert by running a search that incorporates the lookup and saving that search as an alert. This allows the alert to use the lookup data as part of its logic.
Question # 11
What order of incoming events must be supplied to the transaction command to ensure correct results?
The | makeresults command generates a single event containing default fields, such as _time. It's mainly used to create sample data or placeholder events for testing purposes. The primary field it generates is _time, but the command is used to generate a base event that can be manipulated further.
Question # 13
Which of the following can be used to access external lookups?
Splunk supports external lookups that enrich search results using scripts or binary executables. Python and binary executables are commonly used for creating these external lookups, as Python is widely supported, and binary executables can handle performance-critical tasks.
The tstats command is used to generate statistics on indexed fields, particularly from accelerated data models. It operates on indexed-time summaries, making it more efficient than using raw data.
Question # 15
Which of the following is valid syntax for the split function?
The valid syntax for using the split function in Splunk is ... | eval areaCodes = split(phoneNumber, "_"). This function splits the string based on the specified delimiter, creating an array of substrings.
Question # 16
When would a distributable streaming command be executed on an indexer?
A.
If any of the preceding search commands are executed on the search head.
B.
If all preceding search commands are executed on the indexer, and a streamstats command is used.
C.
If all preceding search commands are executed on the indexer.
D.
If some of the preceding search commands are executed on the indexer, and a timerchart command is used.
A distributable streaming command would be executed on an indexer if all preceding search commands are executed on the indexer, enhancing search efficiency by processing data where it resides.
