What action is required to enable forwarder management in Splunk Web?
A. Navigate to Settings > Server Settings > General Settings, and set an App server port.
B. Navigate to Settings > Forwarding and receiving, and click on Enable Forwarding.
C. Create a server class and map it to a client inSPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/serverclass.conf.
D. Place an app in theSPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-appsdirectory of the deployment server.
"To activate deployment server, you must place at least one app into %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\deployment-apps on the host you want to act as deployment server. In this case, the app is the "send to indexer" app you created earlier, and the host is the indexer you set up initially."
Which Splunk component requires a Forwarder license?
A. Search head
B. Heavy forwarder
C. Heaviest forwarder
D. Universal forwarder
An admin is running the latest version of Splunk with a 500 GB license. The current daily volume of new data is 300 GB per day. To minimize license issues, what is the best way to add 10 TB of historical data to the index?
A. Buy a bigger Splunk license.
B. Add 2.5 TB each day for the next 5 days.
C. Add all 10 TB in a single 24 hour period.
D. Add 200 GB of historical data each day for 50 days.
"An Enterprise license stack with a license volume of 100 GB of data per day or more does not currently violate."
A security team needs to ingest a static file for a specific incident. The log file has not been collected previously and future updates to the file must not be indexed. Which command would meet these needs?
A. splunk add one shot / opt/ incident [data .log —index incident
B. splunk edit monitor /opt/incident/data.* —index incident
C. splunk add monitor /opt/incident/data.log —index incident
D. splunk edit oneshot [opt/ incident/data.* —index incident
Explanation:
The correct answer is A. splunk add one shot / opt/ incident [data . log —index incident
According to the Splunk documentation1, the splunk add one shot command adds a single
file or directory to the Splunk index and then stops monitoring it. This is useful for ingesting
static files that do not change or update. The command takes the following syntax:
splunk add one shot
The file parameter specifies the path to the file or directory to be indexed. The index
parameter specifies the name of the index where the data will be stored. If the index does not exist, Splunk will create it automatically.
Option B is incorrect because the splunk edit monitor command modifies an existing
monitor input, which is used for ingesting files or directories that change or update over
time. This command does not create a new monitor input, nor does it stop monitoring after
indexing.
Option C is incorrect because the splunk add monitor command creates a new monitor
input, which is also used for ingesting files or directories that change or update over time.
This command does not stop monitoring after indexing.
Option D is incorrect because the splunk edit oneshot command does not exist. There is no
such command in the Splunk CLI.
Which valid bucket types are searchable? (select all that apply)
A. Hot buckets

C. Warm buckets
D. Frozen buckets
Which pathway represents where a network input in Splunk might be found?
A. $SPLUNK HOME/ etc/ apps/ ne two r k/ inputs.conf
B. $SPLUNK HOME/ etc/ apps/ $appName/ local / inputs.conf
C. $SPLUNK HOME/ system/ local /udp.conf
D. $SPLUNK HOME/ var/lib/ splunk/$inputName/homePath/
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. The network input in Splunk might be found in the
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/$appName/local/inputs.conf file.
A network input is a type of input that monitors data from TCP or UDP ports. To configure a
network input, you need to specify the port number, the connection host, the source, and
the sourcetype in the inputs.conf file.You can also set other optional settings, such as
index, queue, and host_regex1.
The inputs.conf file is a configuration file that contains the settings for different types of inputs, such as files, directories, scripts, network ports, and Windows event logs. The
inputs.conf file can be located in various directories, depending on the scope and priority of
the settings. The most common locations are:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default: This directory contains the default settings
for all inputs.You should not modify or copy the files in this directory2.
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local: This directory contains the custom settings for
all inputs that apply to the entire Splunk instance.The settings in this directory
override the default settings2.
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/$appName/default: This directory contains the default
settings for all inputs that are specific to an app.You should not modify or copy the
files in this directory2.
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/$appName/local: This directory contains the custom
settings for all inputs that are specific to an app.The settings in this directory
override the default and system settings2.
Therefore, the best practice is to create or edit the inputs.conf file in the
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/$appName/local directory, where $appName is the name of
the app that you want to configure the network input for. This way, you can avoid modifying
the default files and ensure that your settings are applied to the specific app.
The other options are incorrect because:
A. There is no network directory under the apps directory. The network input
settings should be in the inputs.conf file, not in a separate directory.
C. There is no udp.conf file in Splunk. The network input settings should be in the
inputs.conf file, not in a separate file. The system directory is not the
recommended location for custom settings, as it affects the entire Splunk instance.
D. The var/lib/splunk directory is where Splunk stores the indexed data, not the
input settings. The homePath setting is used to specify the location of the index
data, not the input data. The inputName is not a valid variable for inputs.conf.
