The Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) provides a methodology to normalize data from different sources and source types. The CIM defines a common set of fields and tags for different types of data, such as web, network, email, etc. This allows you to search and analyze data from different sources in a consistent way.

Using the export function, you can export search results as XML or JSON2. The export function allows you to save your search results in a structured format that can be used by other applications or tools2. You can use the output_mode parameter to specify whether you want to export your results as XML or JSON2. Therefore, options A and B are correct, while options C and D are incorrect because they are not formats that you can export your search results as.

In Splunk, the order of operations for Boolean logic in the where command follows this sequence:

Parentheses: Operations inside parentheses are evaluated first.

NOT: The NOT operator is evaluated after parentheses.

AND: The AND operator is evaluated next.

OR: Finally, the OR operator is evaluated last.

This order ensures that expressions within parentheses are given priority, followed by negations (NOT), conjunctions (AND), and finally disjunctions (OR).

A data model that has been accelerated can be used with Pivot, the | tstats command, or the | datamodel command (Option A). Acceleration pre-computes and stores results for quicker access, enhancing the performance of searches and analyses that utilize the data model, especially for large datasets. This makes accelerated data models highly efficient for use in various analytical tools and commands within Splunk.

In Splunk, data sets used in the Pivot tool are derived from data models. The Pivot tool allows users to create reports and visualizations based on the structured information available in data models.
