When is data deleted from a Splunk Cloud index?
A. When buckets roll to frozen, without a defined archive.
B. When data is deleted via the Splunk Cloud Admin GUI.
C. When TA_Delete is downloaded and enabled from SplunkBase.
D. When the daleteindex command is executed from the CLI.
Explanation: In Splunk Cloud, data is deleted from an index when the buckets roll to the frozen stage and no archive is defined. When data in a bucket reaches the frozen stage, it is deleted unless a frozen-to-archival script is configured to move the data elsewhere. This process is part of the index lifecycle management in Splunk.
Which of the following is true when using Intermediate Forwarders?
A. Intermediate Forwarders may be a mix of Universal and Heavy Forwarders.
B. All Intermediate Forwarders must be Heavy Forwarders.
C. Intermediate Forwarders may be Universal Forwarders or Heavy Forwarders, but may not be mixed.
D. All Intermediate Forwarders must be Universal Forwarders.
Explanation: Intermediate Forwarders are special types of forwarders that sit between
Universal Forwarders and indexers to perform additional processing tasks such as routing,
filtering, or load balancing data before it reaches the indexers.
B. All Intermediate Forwarders must be Heavy Forwarders is the correct answer.
Heavy Forwarders are the only type of forwarder that can perform the necessary
tasks required of an Intermediate Forwarder, such as parsing data, applying
transformations, and routing based on specific rules. Universal Forwarders are
lightweight and cannot perform these complex tasks, thus cannot serve as
Intermediate Forwarders.
In case of a Change Request, which of the following should submit a support case for Splunk Support?
A. The party requesting the change.
B. Certified Splunk Cloud administrator.
C. Splunk infrastructure owner.
D. Any person with the appropriate entitlement.
Explanation: In Splunk Cloud, when there is a need for a change request that might
involve modifying settings, upgrading, or other actions requiring Splunk Support, the
process typically requires submitting a support case.
D. Any person with the appropriate entitlement: This is the correct answer. Any
individual who has the necessary permissions or entitlements within the Splunk
environment can submit a support case. This includes administrators or users who
have been granted the ability to engage with Splunk Support. The request does
not necessarily have to come from a Certified Splunk Cloud Administrator or the
infrastructure owner; rather, it can be submitted by anyone with the correct level of
access.
Which of the following would always require raising a support ticket?
A. Capacity or configuration changes in Splunk Cloud.
B. Search does not return expected results in Splunk Cloud.
C. A user is unable to log into Splunk Cloud
D. Data is not indexed in Splunk Cloud
Explanation: Any modifications in capacity or configurations within Splunk Cloud require an official support ticket, as they are managed by Splunk Cloud support teams to ensure consistent and secure changes.
The following Apache access log is being ingested into Splunk via a monitor input:
How does Splunk determine the time zone for this event?
A. The value of the TZ attribute in props. cont for the a :ces3_ccwbined sourcetype.
B. The value of the TZ attribute in props, conf for the my.webserver.example host.
C. The time zone of the Heavy/Intermediate Forwarder with the monitor input.
D. The time zone indicator in the raw event data.
Explanation: In Splunk, when ingesting logs such as an Apache access log, the time zone
for each event is typically determined by the time zone indicator present in the raw event
data itself. In the log snippet you provided, the time zone is indicated by -0400, which
specifies that the event's timestamp is 4 hours behind UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
Splunk uses this information directly from the event to properly parse the timestamp and
apply the correct time zone. This ensures that the event's time is accurately reflected
regardless of the time zone in which the Splunk instance or forwarder is located.
Splunk Cloud Reference: For further details, you can review Splunk documentation on
timestamp recognition and time zone handling, especially in relation to log files and data
ingestion configurations.
Which of the following stanzas would enable a TCP input on port 1025, allowing traffic from all IP addresses except 10.5.5.1?
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Explanation: In Splunk, to configure a TCP input on a specific port and restrict traffic from
certain IP addresses, you can use the acceptFrom setting. The correct stanza that enables
a TCP input on port 1025 and allows traffic from all IP addresses except 10.5.5.1 would
look like this:
[tcp://1025]
acceptFrom = !10.5.5.1
Here, !10.5.5.1 denotes that traffic from this IP should be denied, while all other IP
addresses are allowed. Therefore, Option B is correct.
