SPLK-2001 Exam Dumps - Splunk Certified Developer Questions and Answers

 The correct answer is B, C, and D, because they are all valid parent elements for the event action shown below. The event action is a element, which is used to set the value of a token based on a user interaction, such as a click or a change. The element can be nested inside a , a , or a element, depending on the type and context of the event. The element is not a valid parent element for the element, but a sibling element that can be used to evaluate an expression and set the value of a token.

The correct answer is B and C because these are the statements that describe one-shot searches. A one-shot search is a type of search that runs once and returns all the results at once. Option B is correct because a one-shot search can specify csv as an output format, which returns the results as comma-separated values. Option C is correct because a one-shot search streams all the results upon search completion, which means it does not return any partial results while the search is running. Option A is incorrect because a one-shot search can be executed either synchronously or asynchronously, depending on the method used. Option D is incorrect because a one-shot search cannot use auto_cancel to set a timeout limit, as this parameter is only applicable for normal searches. You can find more information about one-shot searches in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

 The correct answer is B, C, and D because these are the ways to enable indexer acknowledgement for HTTP Event Collector (HEC). Indexer acknowledgement is a feature that ensures that the data sent to HEC is successfully indexed by Splunk before deleting it from the sender. Option B is correct because you can use a REST request to create a token with the indexer_ack property set to 1. Option C is correct because you can select the checkbox labeled “Enable indexer acknowledgment” when creating a new HEC token in Splunk Web. Option D is correct because you can select the checkbox labeled “Enable indexer acknowledgment” when updating the Global Settings for HEC in Splunk Web. Option A is incorrect because indexer acknowledgment is not turned on by default. You can find more information about indexer acknowledgment for HEC in the Splunk Developer Guide.

 The correct answer is A, B, and C, because they are all ways to monitor app performance. App performance refers to how well an app performs its intended functions, such as data ingestion, search, visualization, and alerting. Monitoring app performance helps to identify and troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and improve user experience. Using Splunk logs, using the search job inspector, and using the Monitoring Console are all methods to monitor app performance by collecting and analyzing various metrics and data related to the app. Using the storage/collections/config REST endpoint is not a way to monitor app performance, but a way to configure the KV Store collections for an app.

 The containers that are included in the Atom Feed response when using the Splunk REST API are , , and . The feed container represents the entire response, the entry container represents each individual result, and the content container represents the fields and values of each result. The namespace container is not included in the Atom Feed response, but rather in the XML namespace declaration. For more information, see Access Splunk data using feeds.

When output_mode is not used, the title element of a feed is a human readable name for a returned entry. The title element contains the name of the object, such as the name of a saved search or a dashboard. The other elements are not human readable names, but rather identifiers, links, or authors of the entry. For more information, see Access Splunk data using feeds.

 The correct answer is B and D, because they are the ways to optimize the searches in the dashboard. A dashboard is a user interface that displays data from one or more searches in various panels, such as charts, tables, or maps. Optimizing the searches in the dashboard helps to improve the dashboard performance, reduce the load on the Splunk server, and enhance the user experience. Restricting the time range of the search as much as possible and converting the common SPL into a Global Search and converting the other searches to post-processing searches are both methods to optimize the searches in the dashboard by limiting the amount of data to be searched or processed. Converting searches to include NOT expressions and replacing | stats command with | transaction command wherever possible are not methods to optimize the searches in the dashboard, but rather ways to change the search logic or functionality, which might not produce the desired results.

 The correct answer is D, because ensuring components have no Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) vulnerabilities is a security best practice for developing Splunk apps. CVE is a list of publicly disclosed information security vulnerabilities and exposures1. Splunk recommends using tools such as npm audit, retire.js, and snyk to scan your app components for CVE vulnerabilities2.

 The correct answer is A and B, because for a KV Store, a lookup stanza in the transforms.conf file must contain the collection and fields_list attributes. A lookup stanza is a configuration section in the transforms.conf file that defines the properties of a lookup, such as the lookup type, the lookup file or collection, the input and output fields, and the match type. A lookup is a feature that allows Splunk to enrich the events with additional data from an external source, such as a CSV file or a KV Store collection. For a KV Store lookup, the lookup stanza must have the collection attribute, which specifies the name of the KV Store collection to use, and the fields_list attribute, which specifies the fields to return from the KV Store collection2. The external_type and internal_type attributes are not required for a KV Store lookup, but for a scripted lookup, which is a type of lookup that uses an external script to perform the lookup operation.

The types of event handlers are set token and form input. Set token event handlers let you set or unset tokens based on user interactions, such as clicking on a chart or selecting a value from a dropdown. Form input event handlers let you create interactive forms that use tokens to pass values between inputs and searches. The other options are not event handlers, but rather components of a dashboard. For more information, see Event handlers overview.
