Splunk Core Certified Consultant Questions and Answers

Question 1

When adding a new search head to a search head cluster (SHC), which of the following scenarios occurs?

Options:

A.

The new search head connects to the captain and replays any recent configuration changes to bring it up to date.

B.

The new search head connects to the deployer and replays any recent configuration changes to bring it up to date.

C.

The new search head connects to the captain and pulls the most recently deployed bundle. It then connects to the deployer and replays any recent configuration changes to bring it up to date.

D.

The new search head connects to the deployer and pulls the most recently deployed bundle. It then connects to the captain and replays any recent configuration changes to bring it up to date.

Question 2

What should be considered when running the following CLI commands with a goal of accelerating an index cluster migration to new hardware?

Options:

A.

Data ingestion rate

B.

Network latency and storage IOPS

C.

Distance and location

D.

SSL data encryption

Question 3

When using SAML, where does user authentication occur?

Options:

A.

Splunk generates a SAML assertion that authenticates the user.

B.

The Service Provider (SP) decodes the SAML request and authenticates the user.

C.

The Identity Provider (IDP) decodes the SAML request and authenticates the user.

D.

The Service Provider (SP) generates a SAML assertion that authenticates the user.

Question 4

As data enters the indexer, it proceeds through a pipeline where event processing occurs. In which pipeline does line breaking occur?

Options:

A.

Indexing

B.

Typing

C.

Merging

D.

Parsing

Question 5

A customer wants to understand how Splunk bucket types (hot, warm, cold) impact search performance within their environment. Their indexers have a single storage device for all data. What is the proper message to communicate to the customer?

Options:

A.

The bucket types (hot, warm, or cold) have the same search performance characteristics within the customer’s environment.

B.

While hot, warm, and cold buckets have the same search performance characteristics within the customers environment, due to their optimized structure, the thawed buckets are the most performant.

C.

Searching hot and warm buckets result in best performance because by default the cold buckets are miniaturized by removing TSIDX files to save on storage cost.

D.

Because the cold buckets are written to a cheaper/slower storage volume, they will be slower to search compared to hot and warm buckets which are written to Solid State Disk (SSD).

Question 6

How does Monitoring Console (MC) initially identify the server role(s) of a new Splunk Instance?

Options:

A.

The MC uses a REST endpoint to query the server.

B.

Roles are manually assigned within the MC.

C.

Roles are read from distsearch.conf.

D.

The MC assigns all possible roles by default.

Question 7

Data can be onboarded using apps, Splunk Web, or the CLI.

Which is the PS preferred method?

Options:

A.

Create UDP input port 9997 on a UF.

B.

Use the add data wizard in Splunk Web.

C.

Use the inputs.conf file.

D.

Use a scripted input to monitor a log file.

Question 8

What happens when an index cluster peer freezes a bucket?

Options:

A.

All indexers with a copy of the bucket will delete it.

B.

The cluster master will ensure another copy of the bucket is made on the other peers to meet the replication settings.

C.

The cluster master will no longer perform fix-up activities for the bucket.

D.

All indexers with a copy of the bucket will immediately roll it to frozen.

Question 9

A customer has a network device that transmits logs directly with UDP or TCP over SSL. Using PS best practices, which ingestion method should be used?

Options:

A.

Open a TCP port with SSL on a heavy forwarder to parse and transmit the data to the indexing tier.

B.

Open a UDP port on a universal forwarder to parse and transmit the data to the indexing tier.

C.

Use a syslog server to aggregate the data to files and use a heavy forwarder to read and transmit the data to the indexing tier.

D.

Use a syslog server to aggregate the data to files and use a universal forwarder to read and transmit the data to the indexing tier.

Question 10

The customer has an indexer cluster supporting a wide variety of search needs, including scheduled search, data model acceleration, and summary indexing. Here is an excerpt from the cluster mater’s server.conf:

Which strategy represents the minimum and least disruptive change necessary to protect the searchability of the indexer cluster in case of indexer failure?

Options:

A.

Enable maintenance mode on the CM to prevent excessive fix-up and bring the failed indexer back online.

B.

Leave replication_factor=2, increase search_factor=2 and enable summary_replication.

C.

Convert the cluster to multi-site and modify the server.conf to be site_replication_factor=2, site_search_factor=2.

D.

Increase replication_factor=3, search_factor=2 to protect the data, and allow there to always be a searchable copy.

Question 11

Which command is most efficient in finding the pass4SymmKey of an index cluster?

Options:

A.

find / -name server.conf –print | grep pass4SymKey

B.

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk search | rest splunk_server=local /servicesNS/-/ unhash_app/storage/passwords

C.

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk btool server list clustering | grep pass4SymmKey

D.

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk btool clustering list clustering --debug | grep

pass4SymmKey

Question 12

When can the Search Job Inspector be used to debug searches?

Options:

A.

If the search has not expired.

B.

If the search is currently running.

C.

If the search has been queued.

D.

If the search has expired.
