SPLK-2001 Exam Dumps

Explanation: The correct answer is A, because data can be added to a KV Store collection only in JSON format. KV Store is a feature that allows Splunk to store and manage data in collections of key-value pairs. A KV Store collection is a logical grouping of key-value pairs that can be accessed and manipulated by Splunk apps. Data can be added to a KV Store collection either by using the Splunk Web interface, the Splunk REST API, or the Splunk SDKs. In all cases, the data must be formatted as JSON objects, which are collections of name-value pairs enclosed in curly braces1. The other formats, such as XML, CSV, and TXT, are not supported by KV Store.

Explanation: The correct answer is C, because the XML reference for the file myJS.js located in myOtherApp is . The script attribute specifies the path to the JavaScript file that contains the custom logic for the dashboard. The path must start with the app name, followed by a colon, and then the relative path to the file within the appserver/static folder of the app. The other options are incorrect because they either omit the app name, the colon, or the javascript subfolder.

Explanation: The correct answer is B, because an HTTP header field is an intended use of HTTP Event Collector tokens. An HTTP Event Collector token is a unique identifier that is used to authenticate and authorize data sent to Splunk via the HTTP Event Collector (HEC). An HEC token can be specified in the Authorization header field of the HTTP request, using the format Authorization: Splunk 2. The other options are incorrect because they are not valid ways to use an HEC token. A cookie is a small piece of data stored by the web browser, not by Splunk. A JSON field in the HTTP request is used to specify the event data or metadata, not the HEC token. A password in conjunction with login is not related to HEC, but to Splunk Web or REST API authentication.

Explanation: The correct answer is B, because the element will unset a token named my_token. The element is used to remove the value of a token based on a user interaction, such as a click or a change. The token attribute specifies the name of the token to be unset. The other options are incorrect because they will not unset a token named my_token. The mytoken element is invalid, because the token name should not be enclosed in dollar signs. The false and disabled elements will not unset the token, but set its value to false or disabled, respectively.

Explanation: The correct answer is A, B, and D, because they are all items that can be configured in inputs.conf. Inputs.conf is a configuration file that defines how Splunk ingests data from various sources, such as files, directories, network ports, scripts, or modular inputs. A modular input written in Python is a type of input that allows Splunk to ingest data from a custom source using a Python script. A file input monitoring a JSON file is a type of input that allows Splunk to monitor a file or directory for new or updated data in JSON format. An HTTP Event Collector as receiver of data from an app is a type of input that allows Splunk to receive data from an app via HTTP or HTTPS requests. A custom search command written in Python is not an item that can be configured in inputs.conf, but in commands.conf.

Explanation: The correct answer is C, because /storage/collections/data/sales/smith is the REST endpoint to delete the record with a _key value of smith from the sales collection. The /storage/collections/data endpoint is used to access the KV Store data collections. The sales collection is the name of the collection, and smith is the _key value of the record to be deleted.

Explanation: The correct answer is B, C, and D, because they are all valid parent elements for the event action shown below. The event action is a element, which is used to set the value of a token based on a user interaction, such as a click or a change. The element can be nested inside a , a , or a element, depending on the type and context of the event. The element is not a valid parent element for the element, but a sibling element that can be used to evaluate an expression and set the value of a token.

Explanation: A Splunk custom visualization is a visualization that uses the Splunk Custom Visualization API. This API lets you create your own visualizations using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You can also use third-party libraries or frameworks to create custom visualizations. The other options are not custom visualizations, but rather variations of the built-in visualizations in Splunk. For more information, see [Custom visualizations overview].

Explanation: The correct answer is A, C, and D because these are the application security best practices that should be adhered to while developing an app for Splunk. Option A is correct because reviewing the OWASP Top Ten List can help you identify and avoid the most common web application security risks. Option C is correct because reviewing the OWASP Secure Coding Practices Quick Reference Guide can help you learn and apply the best practices for secure coding. Option D is correct because ensuring that third-party libraries that the app depends on have no outstanding CVE vulnerabilities can help you prevent potential exploits and attacks. Option B is incorrect because storing passwords in clear text in .conf files is a bad practice that can compromise the security and privacy of your app and your data. You can find more information about the application security best practices in the Splunk Developer Guide.

Explanation: The correct answer is B and C because these are the statements that describe one-shot searches. A one-shot search is a type of search that runs once and returns all the results at once. Option B is correct because a one-shot search can specify csv as an output format, which returns the results as comma-separated values. Option C is correct because a one-shot search streams all the results upon search completion, which means it does not return any partial results while the search is running. Option A is incorrect because a one-shot search can be executed either synchronously or asynchronously, depending on the method used. Option D is incorrect because a one-shot search cannot use auto_cancel to set a timeout limit, as this parameter is only applicable for normal searches. You can find more information about one-shot searches in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.
