Question 35
Which is not a comparison operator in Splunk
Options:
A.
<=
B.
=
C.
!=
D.
>
E.
?=
Answer:
E
Explanation:
A comparison operator is a symbol that compares two values and returns a Boolean result (true or false)2. Splunk supports various comparison operators such as <, >, =, !=, <=, >=, IN and LIKE2. However, ?= is not a valid comparison operator in Splunk and will cause a syntax error if used in a search string2. Therefore, option E is correct, while options A, B, C and D are incorrect because they are valid comparison operators in Splunk
Question 36
Where are the results of eval commands stored?
Options:
A.
In a field.
B.
In an index.
C.
In a KV Store.
D.
In a database.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The eval command calculates an expression and puts the resulting value into a search results field.
If the field name that you specify does not match a field in the output, a new field is added to the search results.
If the field name that you specify matches a field name that already exists in the search results, the results of the eval expression overwrite the values in that field.
