Which of the following statements about tags is true?
Options:
A.
Tags are case insensitive.
B.
Tags are created at index time.
C.
Tags can make your data more understandable.
D.
Tags are searched by using the syntax tag: : < fieldneme >
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Tags are aliases or alternative names for field values in Splunk. They can make your data more understandable by using common or descriptive terms instead of cryptic or technical terms. For example, you can tag a field value such as “200” with “OK” or “success” to indicate that it is a HTTP status code for a successful request. Tags are case sensitive, meaning that “OK” and “ok” are different tags. Tags are created at search time, meaning that they are applied when you run a search on your data. Tags are searched by using the syntax tag:: < tagname > , where < tagname > is the name of the tag you want to search for.
Question 64
The timechart command buckets data in time intervals depending on:
Options:
A.
the number of events returned
B.
the selected time range
C.
the type of visualization selected
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The timechart command buckets data in time intervals depending on the selected time range2. The timechart command is similar to the chart command but it automatically groups events into time buckets based on the _time field2. The size of the time buckets depends on the time range that you select for your search. For example, if you select Last 24 hours as your time range, Splunk will use 30-minute buckets for your timechart. If you select Last 7 days as your time range, Splunk will use 4-hour buckets for your timechart2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A and C are incorrect because they are not factors that affect the size of the time buckets.
