Topic 2: Questions Set 2

The macro weekly_sales (2) contains the search string:
index=games | eval ProductSales = $Price$ * $AmountSold$
Which of the following will return results?


A. ‘weekly sales (3)’


B. ‘weekly_sales($3.995, $108)’


C. 'weekly_sales (3.99, 10)’


D. ‘weekly sales (3.99, 10)’





C.
  'weekly_sales (3.99, 10)’

Explanation: To use a search macro in a search string, you need to place a back tick character (`) before and after the macro name1. You also need to use the same number of arguments as defined in the macro2. The macro weekly sales (2) has two arguments:PriceandAmountSold. Therefore, you need to provide two values for these arguments when you call the macro.
The option A is incorrect because it uses parentheses instead of back ticks around the macro name. The option B is incorrect because it uses underscores instead of spaces in the macro name. The option D is incorrect because it uses spaces instead of commas to separate the argument values.

Which of the following statements describe the search below? (select all that apply)
Index=main I transaction clientip host maxspan=30s maxpause=5s


A. Events in the transaction occurred within 5 seconds.


B. It groups events that share the same clientip and host.


C. The first and last events are no more than 5 seconds apart.


D. The first and last events are no more than 30 seconds apart.





A.
  Events in the transaction occurred within 5 seconds.

B.
  It groups events that share the same clientip and host.

D.
  The first and last events are no more than 30 seconds apart.

Explanation: The search below groups events by two or more fields (clientip and host), creates transactions with start and end constraints (maxspan=30s and maxpause=5s), and calculates the duration of each transaction.
index=main | transaction clientip host maxspan=30s maxpause=5s
The search does the following:
It filters the events by the index main, which is a default index in Splunk that contains all data that is not sent to other indexes.
It uses the transaction command to group events into transactions based on two fields: clientip and host. The transaction command creates new events from groups of events that share the same clientip and host values.
It specifies the start and end constraints for the transactions using the maxspan and maxpause arguments. The maxspan argument sets the maximum time span between the first and last events in a transaction. The maxpause argument sets the maximum time span between any two consecutive events in a transaction. In this case, the maxspan is 30 seconds and the maxpause is 5 seconds, meaning that any transaction that has a longer time span or pause will be split into multiple transactions.
It creates some additional fields for each transaction, such as duration, eventcount, startime, etc. The duration field shows the time span between the first and last events in a transaction.

What are the expected results for a search that contains the command | where A=B?


A. Events that contain the string value where A=B.


B. Events that contain the string value A=B.


C. Events where values of field are equal to values of field B.


D. Events where field A contains the string value B.





C.
  Events where values of field are equal to values of field B.

Explanation:
The correct answer is C. Events where values of field A are equal to values of field B. The where command is used to filter the search results based on an expression that evaluates to true or false. The where command can compare two fields, two values, or a field and a value. The where command can also use functions, operators, and wildcards to create complex expressions1.
The syntax for the where command is:
| where
The expression can be a comparison, a calculation, a logical operation, or a combination of these. The expression must evaluate to true or false for each event.
To compare two fields with the where command, you need to use the field names without any quotation marks. For example, if you want to find events where the values for the field A match the values for the field B, you can use the following syntax:
| where A=B
This will return only the events where the two fields have the same value.
The other options are not correct because they use different syntax or fields that are not related to the where command. These options are:
A. Events that contain the string value where A=B: This option uses the string value where A=B as a search term, which is not valid syntax for the where command. This option will return events that have the literal text “where A=B” in them.
B. Events that contain the string value A=B: This option uses the string value A=B as a search term, which is not valid syntax for the where command. This option will return events that have the literal text “A=B” in them.
D. Events where field A contains the string value B: This option uses quotation marks around the value B, which is not valid syntax for comparing fields with the where command. Quotation marks are used to enclose phrases or exact matches in a search2. This option will return events where the field A contains the string value “B”.

Which of the following eval commands will provide a new value for host from src if it exists?


A. | eval host = if (isnu11 (src), src, host)


B. | eval host = if (NOT src = host, src, host)


C. | eval host = if (src = host, src, host)


D. | eval host = if (isnotnull (src), src, host)





D.
  | eval host = if (isnotnull (src), src, host)

Explanation:
The eval command is a Splunk command that allows you to create or modify fields using expressions .
The if function is an expression that evaluates a condition and returns a value based on whether the condition is true or false. The syntax of the if function is if(X,Y,Z), where X is the condition, Y is the value to return if X is true, and Z is the value to return if X is false.
The isnotnull function is an expression that returns true if the argument is not null, and false otherwise. The syntax of the isnotnull function is isnotnull(X), where X is the argument to check.
Therefore, the expression if (isnotnull (src), src, host) returns the value of src if it is not null, and the value of host otherwise. This means that it will provide a new value for host from src if it exists, and keep the original value of host otherwise.

If there are fields in the data with values that are " " or empty but not null, which of the following would add a value?


A. | eval notNULL = if(isnull (notNULL), “0” notNULL)


B. | eval notNULL = if(isnull (notNULL), “0”


C. | eval notNULL = “” | nullfill value=0 notNULL


D. | eval notNULL = “” fillnull value=0 notNULL





D.
  | eval notNULL = “” fillnull value=0 notNULL

The correct answer is D. | eval notNULL = “” fillnull value=0 notNULL Option A is incorrect because it is missing a comma between the “0” and the notNULL in the if function. The correct syntax for the if function is if (condition, true_value, false_value).
Option B is incorrect because it is missing the false_value argument in the if function. The correct syntax for the if function is if (condition, true_value, false_value).
Option C is incorrect because it uses the nullfill command, which only replaces null values, not empty strings. The nullfill command is equivalent to fillnull value=null.
Option D is correct because it uses the eval command to assign an empty string to the notNULL field, and then uses the fillnull command to replace the empty string with a zero. The fillnull command can replace any value with a specified replacement, not just null values.

A space is an implied _____ in a search string.


A. OR


B. AND


C. ()


D. NOT





B.
  AND

Explanation: A space is an implied AND in a search string, which means that it acts as a logical operator that returns events that match both terms on either side of the space2. For example, status=200 method=GET will return events that have both status=200 and method=GET2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A, C and D are incorrect because they are not implied by a space in a search string.
