Assuming a standard time zone across the environment, what syntax will always return ewnts from between 2:00am and 5:00am?

1. A. datehour>-2 AND date_hour<5
2. B. earliest=-2h@h AND latest=-5h@h
3. C. time_hour>-2 AND time_hour>-5
4. D. earliest=2h@ AND latest=5h3h

Correct Answer: B
To always return events from between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM, assuming a standard time zone across the environment, the correct Splunk search syntax is earliest=-2h@h AND latest=-5h@h (Option B). This syntax uses relative time modifiers to specify a range starting 2 hours ago from the current hour (-2h@h) and ending 5 hours ago from the current hour (-5h@h), effectively capturing the desired time window.

Which of the following are potential string results returned by the type of function?

1. A. True, False, Unknown
2. B. Number, Siring, Bool
3. C. Number, String, Null
4. D. Field, Value, Lookup

Correct Answer: C
The typeof function in Splunk returns a string that represents the data type of the evaluated expression. The potential string results include "Number", "String", and "Null" (Option C). These indicate whether the evaluated expression is a numerical value, a string, or a null value, respectively, helping users understand the data types they are working with in their searches andscripts.

What XML element is used to pass multiple fields into another dashboard using a dynamic drilldown?

1. A. <drilldown field_"sources_Field_name">
2. B. <condition field_"sources_Field_name">
3. C. <pas_token field_"sources_field_name">
4. D. <link field_"sources_field_name">

Correct Answer: D
In Splunk Simple XML for dashboards, dynamic drilldowns are configured within the
<drilldown>element, not<link>,<condition>, or<pass_token>. To pass multiple fields to another dashboard, you would use a combination of<set>tokens within the<drilldown> element. Each<set>token specifies a field or value to be passed. The correct configuration might look something like this within the<drilldown>element:
<drilldown>
<set token="token1">$row.field1$</set>
<set token="token2">$row.field2$</set>
<link target="_blank">/app/search/new_dashboard</link>
</drilldown>
In this configuration,$row.field1$and$row.field2$are placeholders for the field values from the clicked event, which are assigned to tokenstoken1andtoken2. These tokens can then be used in the target dashboard to receive the values. The<link>element specifiesthe target dashboard. Note that the exact syntax can vary based on the specific requirements of the drilldown and the dashboard configuration.

Which of the following is not a common default time field?

1. A. date_zone
2. B. date minute
3. C. date_year
4. D. date_day

Correct Answer: A
In Splunk, common default time fields include date_minute, date_year, and date_day, which represent the minute, year, and day parts of event timestamps, respectively. date_zone (Option A) is not recognized as a common default time field in Splunk. The platform typically uses fields like _time and various date_* fields for time-related information but does not use date_zone as a standard time field.

what is the result of the xyseries command?

1. A. To transform single series output into a multi-series output
2. B. To transform a stats-like output into chart-like output.
3. C. To transform a multi-series output into single series output.
4. D. To transform a chart-like output into a stats-like output.

Correct Answer: B
The result of the xyseries command in Splunk is to transform a stats-like output into chart- like output (Option B). The xyseries command restructures the search results so that each row represents a unique combination of x and y values, suitable for plotting in a chart, making it easier to visualize complex relationships between multiple data points.
