Question No. 2

Immediately after installation, what will a Universal Forwarder do first?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

Immediately after installation, a universal forwarder will start generating internal Splunk logs that contain information about its own operation, such as configuration changes, data inputs, and forwarding activities1.These logs are stored in the $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk directory on the universal forwarder machine1.The universal forwarder will not automatically detect any indexers in its subnet and begin routing data, as it needs to be configured with the IP address and port number of the indexer or the deployment server2.The universal forwarder will not begin reading local files on its server, as it needs to be configured with the data inputs that specify which files or directories to monitor2.The universal forwarder will not send an email to the operator that the installation process has completed, as this is not a default behavior of the universal forwarder and would require additional configuration3.


Question No. 3

Which setting allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

The setting that allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line is SHOULD_LINEMERGE. This setting determines whether consecutive lines from a single source should be concatenated into a single event. If SHOULD_LINEMERGE is set to true, Splunk will attempt to merge multiple lines into one event based on certain criteria, such as timestamps or regular expressions. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. References:Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [Configure event line merging - Splunk Documentation]


Question No. 4

When using a directory monitor input, specific source types can be selectively overridden using which configuration file?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

When using a directory monitor input, specific source types can be selectively overridden using the props.conf file.According to the Splunk documentation1, ''You can specify a source type for data based on its input and source. Specify source type for an input. You can assign the source type for data coming from a specific input, such as /var/log/. If you use Splunk Cloud Platform, use Splunk Web to define source types. If you use Splunk Enterprise, define source types in Splunk Web or by editing the inputs.conf configuration file.'' However, this method is not very granular and assigns the same source type to all data from an input.To override the source type on a per-event basis, you need to use the props.conf file and the transforms.conf file2.The props.conf file contains settings that determine how the Splunk platform processes incoming data, such as how to segment events, extract fields, and assign source types2.The transforms.conf file contains settings that modify or filter event data during indexing or search time2.You can use these files to create rules that match specific patterns in the event data and assign different source types accordingly2.For example, you can create a rule that assigns a source type of apache_error to any event that contains the word ''error'' in the first line2.
