SPLK-2001 Premium Exam Questions

The correct answer is B, C, and D, because they are all ways to reduce the results size in the results when the search/jobs REST endpoint is called to execute a search. The search/jobs REST endpoint is used to create, manage, and control search jobs in Splunk. The results size in the results refers to the amount of data returned by the search job, which can affect the performance and efficiency of the search. Removing unneeded fields, truncating the data using selective functions, and summarizing the data using analytic commands are all methods to reduce the results size by filtering, limiting, or aggregating the data. Using a generating search is not a way to reduce the results size, but a way to create a search job that does not use the index, but instead generates its own data3.

The Simple XML elements that configure panel link buttons are <title>Open In Search</title> and true. The title element specifies the text that appears on the link button, and the option element enables the link button to be visible. The other elements are either irrelevant or used for different options. For more information, see Drilldown to a URL.

The correct answer is B, C, and D, because they are all security best practices for Splunk app development. Storing passwords in clear text in .conf files is not a security best practice, because it exposes the passwords to unauthorized access or leakage. Implementing security in software development lifecycle means applying security principles and practices throughout the app development process, from design to deployment. Manually testing application with the controls listed in the OWASP Security Testing Guide helps to identify and mitigate common security risks and vulnerabilities in web applications. Using a dynamic scanner such as OWASP ZAP to scan web application components for vulnerabilities helps to automate the security testing and find potential issues that might be missed by manual testing.

The type of vulnerability in the Python code snippet is CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release. This vulnerability occurs when a resource is not released or closed properly after use, which can lead to resource exhaustion or unexpected behavior. In this case, the open() and readline() commands could fail to close the file handle, which could prevent other processes from accessing the file or cause a memory leak. The other types of vulnerabilities are not relevant to this scenario. For more information, see CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release.
