Authentic Splunk Certification Exam SPLK-2002 Questions Answers

The index=_internal component=DC* host= search will show all deployment client messages from the universal forwarder. The component field indicates the type of Splunk component that generated the message, and the host field indicates the host name of the machine that sent the message. The index=_audit component=DC* host= search will not return any results, because the deployment client messages are not stored in the _audit index. The index=_internal component=DS* host= search will show the deployment server messages from the deployment server, not the client. The index=_audit component=DS* host= search will also not return any results, for the same reason as above

Splunk provides various methods to change the internal logging levels in a Splunk environment to troubleshoot an issue. All of the options are valid ways to do so. Option A is correct because the Monitoring Console (MC) allows the administrator to view and modify the logging levels of various Splunk components through a graphical interface. Option B is correct because the Splunk command line provides the splunk set log-level command to change the logging levels of specific components or categories. Option C is correct because the Splunk Web provides the Settings > Server settings > Server logging page to change the logging levels of various components through a web interface. Option D is correct because the log-local.cfg file allows the administrator to manually edit the logging levels of various components by overriding the default settings in the log.cfg file123

A monitored log file is changing on the forwarder, but Splunk searches are not finding any new data that has been added. This could be caused by two possible reasons: B. An admin has removed the Splunk fishbucket on the forwarder. C. The last 256 bytes of the monitored file are not changing. Option B is correct because the Splunk fishbucket is a directory that stores information about the files that have been monitored by Splunk, such as the file name, size, modification time, and CRC checksum. If an admin removes the fishbucket, Splunk will lose track of the files that have been previously indexed and will not index any new data from those files. Option C is correct because Splunk uses the CRC checksum of the last 256 bytes of a monitored file to determine if the file has changed since the last time it was read. If the last 256 bytes of the file are not changing, Splunk will assume that the file is unchanged and will not index any new data from it. Option A is incorrect because running the splunk clean eventdata -index  command on the indexer will delete all the data from the specified index, but it will not affect the forwarder’s ability to send new data to the indexer. Option D is incorrect because Splunk does not use the first 256 bytes of a monitored file to determine if the file has changed12
