Splunk SPLK-3001 Questions Answers

The value in the red box is an IP address rating. This is a numerical value that represents the risk associated with an IP address. The higher the value, the higher the risk. This value is calculated based on the number of security events associated with the IP address, the severity of those events, and the time since the last event. References:

 The Remote Access panel within the User Activity dashboard is based on the Authentication data model, which contains information about authentication events from various sources, such as VPN, SSH, RDP, and others. The Authentication data model is accelerated by default, which means that it generates summary data to speed up searches. However, if the summary data is not up to date, the dashboard panel may not show the most recent data. This can happen if the data model acceleration search is skipped, disabled, or encountering errors12. To check the status of the data model acceleration, you can use the Data Model Audit dashboard in the Monitoring Console3 or the | datamodel command in the Search app4. References = 1: User Activity Monitoring - Splunk Documentation - Remote Access. 2: About data model acceleration - Splunk Documentation. 3: Use the Data Model Audit dashboard - Splunk Documentation. 4: datamodel - Splunk Documentation.

The setting that is used in indexes.conf to specify alternate locations for accelerated storage is tstatsHomePath. Accelerated storage is the location where Splunk Enterprise stores the summary data for accelerated data models and reports. By default, acceleration storage is allocated in the same location as the index containing the raw events being accelerated. However, if you need to specify alternate locations for your accelerated storage, you can use the tstatsHomePath setting in indexes.conf. This setting allows you to define a different path for the summary data, which can improve the performance and efficiency of the data model acceleration. For example, you can set the tstatsHomePath to a faster disk or a different volume than the index homePath12. References = 1: Managing data models in Enterprise Security - Splunk Lantern - Indexes allow list. 2: indexes.conf - Splunk Documentation - tstatsHomePath.

The correct answer is B. Normalize data. The Add-on Builder can configure a new add-on to normalize data by mapping the data fields to the Common Information Model (CIM). The CIM provides a common language for describing data across domains and technologies. Normalizing data enables the data to be used by other Splunk apps, such as Splunk Enterprise Security and Splunk IT Service Intelligence. The Add-on Builder can also configure other features in a new add-on, such as collecting data from various sources, extracting fields from the data, creating alert actions and adaptive response actions, and testing and validating the add-on. However, the Add-on Builder cannot configure an add-on to expire data, summarize data, or translate data. These are not features of the Add-on Builder. References =
