In a distributed environment, which Splunk component is used to distribute apps and configurations to the other Splunk instances?
- A. Indexer
- B. Deployer
- C. Deployment server
- D. Forwarder
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The deployer is a Splunk Enterprise instance that you use to distribute apps and certain other configuration updates to search head cluster members. The set of updates that the deployer distributes is called the configuration bundle.https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.3/DistSearch/PropagateSHCconfigurationchanges#:~
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Updating/Updateconfigurations First line says it all: "The deployment server distributes deployment apps to clients."
NEW QUESTION # 63

In this source definition the MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKHEAD is missing. Which value would fit best?
Event example:
- A. MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD - 10
- B. MAX_TIMESTAMF_LOOKHEAD = 20
- C. MAX TIMESTAMP LOOKAHEAD - 30
- D. MAX_TIMESTAMP_L0CKAHEAD = 5
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 65
When does a warm bucket roll over to a cold bucket?
- A. When the maximum warm bucket age has been reached.
- B. When the maximum warm bucket size has been reached.
- C. When the maximum number of warm buckets is reached.
- D. When Splunk is restarted.
Answer: C
Explanation:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.1/Indexer/HowSplunkstoresindexes Once further conditions are met (for example, the index reaches some maximum number of warm buckets), the indexer begins to roll the warm buckets to cold, based on their age. It always selects the oldest warm bucket to roll to cold. Buckets continue to roll to cold as they age in this manner. Cold buckets reside in a different location from hot and warm buckets. You can configure the location so that cold buckets reside on cheaper storage.
NEW QUESTION # 66
A Universal Forwarder is collecting two separate sources of data (A,B). Source A is being routed through a Heavy Forwarder and then to an indexer. Source B is being routed directly to the indexer. Both sets of data require the masking of raw text strings before being written to disk. What does the administrator need to do to ensure that the masking takes place successfully?
- A. Make sure that props . conf and transforms . conf are both present on the in-dexer and the search head.
- B. Place both props . conf and transforms . conf on the Heavy Forwarder for source A, and place both props . conf and transforms . conf on the indexer for source B.
- C. Make sure that props . conf and transforms . conf are both present on the Universal Forwarder.
- D. For source A, make sure that props . conf is in place on the indexer; and for source B, make sure transforms . conf is present on the Heavy Forwarder.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. Place both props . conf and transforms . conf on the Heavy Forwarder for source A, and place both props . conf and transforms . conf on the indexer for source B.
According to the Splunk documentation1, to mask sensitive data from raw events, you need to use the SEDCMD attribute in the props.conf file and the REGEX attribute in the transforms.conf file. The SEDCMD attribute applies a sed expression to the raw data before indexing, while the REGEX attribute defines a regular expression to match the data to be masked. You need to place these files on the Splunk instance that parses the data, which is usually the indexer or the heavy forwarder2. The universal forwarder does not parse the data, so it does not need these files.
For source A, the data is routed through a heavy forwarder, which can parse the data before sending it to the indexer. Therefore, you need to place both props.conf and transforms.conf on the heavy forwarder for source A, so that the masking takes place before indexing.
For source B, the data is routed directly to the indexer, which parses and indexes the data. Therefore, you need to place both props.conf and transforms.conf on the indexer for source B, so that the masking takes place before indexing.

NEW QUESTION # 68
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 monitor /opt/incident/data.log -index incident
- B. splunk edit oneshot [opt/ incident/data.* -index incident
- C. splunk edit monitor /opt/incident/data.* -index incident
- D. splunk add one shot / opt/ incident [data .log -index incident
Answer: D
Explanation:
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 <file> -index <index_name>
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.

NEW QUESTION # 69
Which setting allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line?
- A. BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true
- B. SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
- C. BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = <REGEX pattern>
- D. SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
Answer: D
Explanation:
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]

What are the minimum required settings when creating a network input in Splunk?
- A. Protocol, port, location
- B. Protocol, IP. port number
- C. Protocol, port number
- D. Protocol, username, port
Answer: C
Explanation:

[tcp://<remote server>:<port>]
*Configures the input to listen on a specific TCP network port.
*If a <remote server> makes a connection to this instance, the input uses this stanza to configure itself.
*If you do not specify <remote server>, this stanza matches all connections on the specified port.
*Generates events with source set to "tcp:<port>", for example: tcp:514
*If you do not specify a sourcetype, generates events with sourcetype set to "tcp-raw"

When Splunk is integrated with LDAP, which attribute can be changed in the Splunk UI for an LDAP user?
- A. Default app
- B. Username
- C. LDAP group
- D. Password
Answer: A
Explanation:
When Splunk is integrated with LDAP, most of the user attributes are managed by the LDAP server and cannot be changed in the Splunk UI. However, one exception is the default app attribute, which specifies which app a user sees when they log in to Splunk. This attribute can be changed in the Splunk UI by editing the user settings. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [Configure Splunk to use LDAP and map groups - Splunk Documentation]

NEW QUESTION # 77
A non-clustered Splunk environment has three indexers (A,B,C) and two search heads (X, Y). During a search executed on search head X, indexer A crashes. What is Splunk's response?
- A. Update the user in Splunk web informing them that the results of their search may be incomplete.
- B. Repeat the search request on indexer B without informing the user.
- C. Inform the user in Splunk web that their results may be incomplete and have them attempt the search from search head Y.
- D. Update the user in Splunk web that their results may be incomple and that Splunk will try to re-execute the search.
Answer: A
Explanation:
This is explained in the Splunk documentation1, which states:
If an indexer goes down during a search, the search head notifies you that the results might be incomplete. The search head does not attempt to re-run the search on another indexer.
NEW QUESTION # 78
Which of the following describes a Splunk deployment server?
- A. A Splunk Forwarder that deploys data to multiple indexers.
- B. A server that automates the deployment of Splunk Enterprise to remote servers.
- C. A Splunk Enterprise server that distributes apps.
- D. A Splunk app installed on a Splunk Enterprise server.
Answer: C
Explanation:
A Splunk deployment server is a system that distributes apps, configurations, and other assets to groups of Splunk Enterprise instances. You can use it to distribute updates to most types of Splunk Enterprise components: forwarders, non-clustered indexers, and search heads2.
A Splunk deployment server is available on every full Splunk Enterprise instance. To use it, you must activate it by placing at least one app into %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\deployment-apps on the host you want to act as deployment server3.
A Splunk deployment server maintains the list of server classes and uses those server classes to determine what content to distribute to each client. A server class is a group of deployment clients that share one or more defined characteristics1.
A Splunk deployment client is a Splunk instance remotely configured by a deployment server. Deployment clients can be universal forwarders, heavy forwarders, indexers, or search heads. Each deployment client belongs to one or more server classes1.
A Splunk deployment app is a set of content (including configuration files) maintained on the deployment server and deployed as a unit to clients of a server class. A deployment app can be an existing Splunk Enterprise app or one developed solely to group some content for deployment purposes1.
Therefore, option C is correct, and the other options are incorrect.
NEW QUESTION # 79

Answer: A
Explanation:
https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/tips-and-tricks/what-is-this-fishbucket-thing.html
"Every Splunk instance has a fishbucket index, except the lightest of hand-tuned lightweight forwarders, and if you index a lot of files it can get quite large. As any other index, you can change the retention policy to control the size via indexes.conf" Reference https://community.splunk.com/t5/Archive/How-to-reindex-data-from-a-forwarder/td-p/93310
