Which syntax is used to represent an argument in a macro definition?

1. A. "argument"
2. B. %argument%
3. C. ‘argument’
4. D. $argument$

Correct Answer: D
The correct answer is D.
A search macro is a way to reuse a piece of SPL code in different searches. A search macro can take arguments, which are variables that can be replaced by different values when the macro is called. A search macro can also contain another search macro within it, which is called a nested macro1.
To represent an argument in a macro definition, you need to use the dollar sign ($) character to enclose the argument name. For example, if you want to create a search macro that takes one argument named “object”, you can use the following syntax:
[my_macro(object)] search sourcetype= object
This will create a search macro named my_macro that takes one argument named object. When you call the macro in a search, you need to provide a value for the object argument, such as:
my_macro(web)
This will replace the object argument with the value web and run the following SPL code: search sourcetype=web
The other options are not correct because they use quotation marks (’ or ") or percentage signs (%) to represent arguments, which are not valid syntax for macro arguments. These characters will be interpreted as literal values instead of variables.

Which of the following knowledge objects represents the output of an eval expression?

1. A. Eval fields
2. B. Calculated fields
3. C. Field extractions
4. D. Calculated lookups

Correct Answer: B
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Splexicon:Calculatedfield
The eval command is used to create new fields or modify existing fields based on an expression2. The output of an eval expression is a calculated field, which is a field that you create based on the value of another field or fields2. You can use calculated fields to enrich your data with additional information or to transform your data into a more useful format2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A, C and D are incorrect because they are not names of knowledge objects that represent the output of an eval expression.

Which of the following searches show a valid use of macro? (Select all that apply)

1. A. index=main source=mySource oldField=* |'makeMyField(oldField)'| table _time newField
2. B. index=main source=mySource oldField=* | stats if('makeMyField(oldField)') | table _time newField
3. C. index=main source=mySource oldField=* | eval newField='makeMyField(oldField)'| table _time newField
4. D. index=main source=mySource oldField=* | "'newField('makeMyField(oldField)')'" | table _time newField

Correct Answer: AC
Reference:
https://answers.splunk.com/answers/574643/field-showing-an-additional-and-not-visible-value-1.html
To use a macro in a search, you must enclose the macro name and any arguments in single quotation marks1. For example, 'my_macro(arg1,arg2)' is a valid way to use a macro with two arguments. You can use macro anywhere in your search string where you would normally use a search command or expression1. Therefore, options A and C are valid searches that use macros, while options B and D are invalid because they do not enclose the macros in single quotation marks.

These kinds of charts represent a series in a single bar with multiple sections

1. A. Multi-Series
2. B. Split-Series
3. C. Omit nulls
4. D. Stacked

Correct Answer: D
Stacked charts represent a series in a single bar with multiple sections. A chart is a graphical representation of data that shows trends, patterns, or comparisons. A chart can have different types, such as column, bar, line, area, pie, etc. A chart can also have different modes, such as split-series, multi-series, stacked, etc. A stacked chart is a type of chart that shows multiple series in a single bar or area with different sections for each series
