In Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI), glass tables are fully customizable dashboards that provide a visual representation of an organization's IT environment, along with the health and status of services and KPIs. Unlike some pre-configured views or dashboards that might come with default setups in various platforms, ITSI does not provide default glass tables out of the box. Instead, users are encouraged to create their own glass tables tailored to their specific monitoring needs and operational views. This approach ensures that each organization can design glass tables that best represent their unique infrastructure, applications, and service landscapes, providing a more personalized and relevant operational overview.
Question 2
What is the minimum number of entities a KPI must be split by in order to use Entity Cohesion anomaly detection?
Options:
A.
3
B.
4
C.
5
D.
2
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
For Entity Cohesion anomaly detection in Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI), the minimum number of entities a KPI must be split by is 2. Entity Cohesion as a method of anomaly detection focuses on identifying anomalies based on the deviation of an entity's behavior in comparison to other entities within the same group or cohort. By requiring a minimum of only two entities, ITSI allows for the comparison of entities to detect significant deviations in one entity's performance or behavior, which could indicate potential issues. This method leverages the idea that entities performing similar functions or within the same service should exhibit similar patterns of behavior, and significant deviations could be indicative of anomalies. The low minimum requirement of two entities ensures that this powerful anomaly detection feature can be utilized even in smaller environments.
Question 3
Which of the following is a recommended best practice for ITSI installation?
Options:
A.
ITSI should not be installed on search heads that have Enterprise Security installed.
B.
Before installing ITSI, make sure the Common Information Model (CIM) is installed.
C.
Install the Machine Learning Toolkit app if anomaly detection must be configured.
D.
Install ITSI on one search head in a search head cluster and migrate the configuration bundle to other search heads.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Explanation:
One of the recommended best practices for Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) installation is to avoid installing ITSI on search heads that already have Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) installed. This recommendation stems from potential resource conflicts and performance issues that can arise when both resource-intensive applications are deployed on the same instance. Both ITSI and ES are complex applications that require significant system resources to function effectively, and running them concurrently on the same search head can lead to degraded performance, conflicts in resource allocation, and potential stability issues. It's generally advised to segregate these applications onto separate Splunk instances to ensure optimal performance and stability for both platforms.
