In a DELETE request, what would omitting the value of _key from the REST endpoint do?
A. Clean the KV store, deleting all content.
B. Produce the syntax error “Key value missing”.
C. Cause all records in a collection to be deleted.
D. Mean that the _key value must be passed as an argument.
Explanation: The correct answer is C, because omitting the value of _key from the REST
endpoint would cause all records in a collection to be deleted. The _key is a unique
identifier for each record in a KV Store collection. The REST endpoint for deleting a record
from a collection is /storage/collections/data/
Which of the following is a customization option for the Open in Search panel link button?
A. Display the refresh time.
B. Show the Export Results button.
C. Show link buttons at the bottom of a panel.
D. Define an alternative search or target view to use.
Explanation: The correct answer is D, because defining an alternative search or target view to use is a customization option for the Open in Search panel link button. The Open in Search panel link button is a feature that allows the user to open the search results of a panel in a new search page. The alternative search or target view option allows the user to specify a different search string or a different view name to use when opening the search page4. The other options are not customization options for the Open in Search panel link button, but for the panel itself. Displaying the refresh time, showing the Export Results button, and showing link buttons at the bottom of a panel are all attributes that can be configured for a panel.
Consider the following Python code snippet used in a Splunk add-on:
if not os.path.exists(full_path): self.doAction(full_path, header) else: f = open (full_path)
oldORnew = f.readline().split(“,”) f.close()
An attacker could create a denial of service by causing an error in either the open() or
readline()
commands. What type of vulnerability is this?
A. CWE-693: Protection Mechanism Failure
B. CWE-562: Return of Stack Variable Address
C. CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release
D. CWE-636: Not Failing Securely (‘Failing Open’)
Explanation: The type of vulnerability in the Python code snippet is CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release. This vulnerability occurs when a resource is not released or closed properly after use, which can lead to resource exhaustion or unexpected behavior. In this case, the open() and readline() commands could fail to close the file handle, which could prevent other processes from accessing the file or cause a memory leak. The other types of vulnerabilities are not relevant to this scenario. For more information, see CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release.
Which HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint should be used to collect data in the following
format?
{“message”:“Hello World”, “foo”:“bar”, “pony”:“buttercup”}
A. data/inputs/http/{name}
B. services/collector/raw
C. services/collector
D. data/inputs/http
Explanation: The HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint that should be used to collect data in the given format is services/collector/raw. This endpoint accepts raw data that is not formatted as JSON, such as plain text or XML. The data format is specified by the sourcetype parameter in the request. The other endpoints are either used for different purposes or do not exist. For more information, see Use the raw HEC endpoint.
In order to successfully accelerate a report, which criteria must the search meet? (Select all that apply.)
A. Cannot use event sampling.
B. Use a transforming command.
C. Use a standard Splunk visualization.
D. Commands before the first transforming command must be streamable.
Explanation: The correct answer is A, B, and D because these are the criteria that the search must meet in order to successfully accelerate a report. A report is a saved search that runs on a schedule and returns results in a table or a chart. A report can be accelerated to improve its performance and reduce the load on the Splunk indexers. Option A is correct because the search cannot use event sampling, which is a technique that reduces the number of events returned by the search. Event sampling can affect the accuracy and consistency of the report results. Option B is correct because the search must use a transforming command, which is a command that converts the results into a data table with rows and columns. Transforming commands are required for report acceleration, as they enable the creation of summary data. Option D is correct because the commands before the first transforming command must be streamable, which means they can process each event as it is returned by the search. Streamable commands are preferred for report acceleration, as they reduce the memory usage and improve the performance of the search. Option C is incorrect because the search does not need to use a standard Splunk visualization, which is a type of chart or graph that displays the results. The search can use any visualization that is compatible with the report acceleration. You can find more information about report acceleration and the criteria for the search in the Splunk Developer Guide.
Which of the following ensures that quotation marks surround the value referenced by the token?
A. $token_name|s$
B. “$token_name$”
C. ($token_name$)
D. \“$token_name$\”
Explanation: The correct answer is A, because tokennames ensures that quotation marks surround the value referenced by the token. The |s modifier is used to escape special characters in the token value, such as quotation marks, commas, and colons. This is useful when the token value is used in a search string or a drilldown action1. The other options are incorrect because they either do not escape the special characters or add extra quotation marks.
