Topic 2: Questions Set 2
The timechart command buckets data in time intervals depending on:
A. the number of events returned
B. the selected time range
C. the type of visualization selected
Explanation: The timechart command buckets data in time intervals depending on the selected time range2. The timechart command is similar to the chart command but it automatically groups events into time buckets based on the _time field2. The size of the time buckets depends on the time range that you select for your search. For example, if you select Last 24 hours as your time range, Splunk will use 30-minute buckets for your timechart. If you select Last 7 days as your time range, Splunk will use 4-hourbuckets for your timechart2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A and C are incorrect because they are not factors that affect the size of the time buckets.
Which function should you use with the transaction command to set the maximum total time between the earliest and latest events returned?
A. maxpause
B. endswith
C. maxduration
D. maxspan
Explanation: The maxspan function of the transaction command allows you to set the maximum total time between the earliest and latest events returned. The maxspan function is an argument that can be used with the transaction command to specify the start and end constraints for the transactions. The maxspan function takes a time modifier as its value, such as 30s, 5m, 1h, etc. The maxspan function sets the maximum time span between the first and last events in a transaction. If the time span between the first and last events exceeds the maxspan value, the transaction will be split into multiple transactions.
Given the macro definition below, what should be entered into the Name and Arguments fileds to correctly configured the macro?
A. The macro name issessiontrackerand the arguments areaction, JESSIONID.
B. The macro name issessiontracker(2)and the arguments areaction, JESSIONID.
C. The macro name issessiontrackerand the arguments are$action$, $JESSIONID$.
D. The macro name issessiontracker(2)and the Arguments are$action$, $JESSIONID$.
The macro definition below shows a macro that tracks user sessions based on two
arguments: action and JSESSIONID.
sessiontracker(2)
The macro definition does the following:
It specifies the name of the macro as sessiontracker. This is the name that will be used to
execute the macro in a search string.
It specifies the number of arguments for the macro as 2. This indicates that the macro
takes two arguments when it is executed.
It specifies the code for the macro asindex=main sourcetype=access_combined_wcookie
action=$action$ JSESSIONID=$JSESSIONID$ | stats count by JSESSIONID. This is the
search string that will be run when the macro is executed. The search string can contain
any part of a search, such as search terms, commands, arguments, etc. The search string
can also include variables for the arguments using dollar signs around them. In this case,
action and JSESSIONID are variables for the arguments that will be replaced by their
values when the macro is executed.
Therefore, to correctly configure the macro, you should enter sessiontracker as the name and action, JSESSIONID as the arguments. Alternatively, you can use sessiontracker(2) as
the name and leave the arguments blank.
The eval command 'if' function requires the following three arguments (in order):
A. Boolean expression, result if true, result if false
B. Result if true, result if false, boolean expression
C. Result if false, result if true, boolean expression
D. Boolean expression, result if false, result if true
Explanation: The eval command ‘if’ function requires the following three arguments (in order): boolean expression, result if true, result if false. The eval command is a search command that allows you to create new fields or modify existing fields by performing calculations or transformations on them. The eval command can use various functions to perform different operations on fields. The ‘if’ function is one of the functions that can be used with the eval command to perform conditional evaluations on fields. The ‘if’ function takes three arguments: a boolean expression that evaluates to true or false, a result that will be returned if the boolean expression is true, and a result that will be returned if the boolean expression is false. The ‘if’ function returns one of the two results based on the evaluation of the boolean expression.
Which of the following file formats can be extracted using a delimiter field extraction?
A. CSV
B. PDF
C. XML
D. JSON
When a search returns __________, you can view the results as a list.
A. a list of events
B. transactions
C. statistical values
