Splunk SPLK-1003 Sample Questions:

01. The same application's logs reach one deployment two ways: from a monitor input on a forwarder at one site, and over a network input at a second site whose host can only emit syslog. What follows for the events from the two sites?
a) Only the monitored events can be given a sourcetype; a network input assigns one automatically
b) They must use different sourcetypes, because the parsing rules that apply are decided by the kind of input that read them
c) They must use different indexes, because an index accepts one input type
d) They can share a sourcetype and an index, because the input type decides how data arrives rather than what it becomes

02. An administrator is looking at two directories on a Splunk Enterprise instance acting as a deployment server: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps and $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps. What separates them?
a) The first holds the current version of each app; the second holds the previous version for rollback
b) The first is read at start-up; the second is read whenever a client asks, on the same instance
c) The first holds the apps this instance runs; the second holds the apps it hands out to its clients
d) The first holds apps installed from Splunkbase; the second holds apps written in house

03. Two months of a sourcetype's events are already indexed. The administrator has two corrections to make: a field that should have been extracted, and a timestamp rule that was wrong when the source was onboarded. Which correction improves the events already in the index?
a) Both, once the index has been rebuilt from its buckets
b) The field extraction, since it is applied whenever the data is searched
c) The timestamp rule, since parsing is re-evaluated each time a bucket is opened
d) Neither, until the two months of data are ingested again

04. A monitored file is written in a character set other than UTF-8, and its events are arriving with corrupted characters. The administrator will set CHARSET for it in props.conf. Which stanza header scopes that setting to that one file?
a) [source::/var/log/messages]
b) [index::main]
c) [monitor:///var/log/messages]
d) [sourcetype::syslog]

05. The same attribute is set for the same stanza in more than one place on an indexer. The setting applies to the whole instance rather than inside an app or a particular user's context. Which of those locations wins when Splunk merges them?
a) The app local directory.
b) The system local directory.
c) The app default directory.
d) The system default directory.

06. A monitor input uses a blacklist regular expression, and files the administrator expected it to skip are being indexed anyway. The expression itself looks correct. Which log records how the instance actually interpreted that stanza?
a) splunkd.log
b) tailing_processor.log
c) metrics.log
d) btool.log

07. Two teams each want a search head of their own, while both search the same three indexers. What does that require of the indexers?
a) Each indexer must be given a copy of the second search head's knowledge objects first.
b) Nothing beyond being added as a search peer on each of the two search heads.
c) The two search heads must be joined together, so that only one of them speaks to the indexers.
d) Each indexer must be assigned to one search head, so the second team needs indexers of its own.

08. A central collector copies log files from many application servers onto one host, keeping each server's name as a directory in the path. A single monitor input on the collector reads all of them, and every event is arriving with the collector's own hostname.
How should the administrator make each event carry the machine that produced it?
a) Set connection_host on the input, or the collector's own name is recorded instead.
b) Rewrite host with a field alias applied when the events are searched.
c) Set host in the monitor stanza to the value the events need.
d) Have the input take host from the segment of the file path that names the machine.

09. One directory holds two kinds of file: an application's own JSON records and a web server's access log. A single monitor input covers the directory and sets one sourcetype on it. What is the consequence?
a) Splunk detects the two formats and applies the sourcetype only to the files that match it.
b) The second format is skipped, since Splunk will not index a file whose shape does not fit the sourcetype.
c) Both kinds of file are labeled with that sourcetype, so its rules are applied to the wrong half.
d) Each file is given a sourcetype derived from its name, and the stanza's value is used as a fallback.

10. Data is arriving more slowly than it should on an indexer, and the administrator wants to see where inside the instance's own pipeline the backlog is sitting. Which of Splunk's own log files carries that measurement?
a) metrics.log, which records throughput and queue sizes per component at intervals.
b) python.log, where errors raised by Python-based inputs and scripts appear.
c) splunkd.log, where the daemon reports its errors and status messages.
d) audit.log, which records the actions users take on the instance.
