Pass the Splunk Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect SPLK-2001 Questions and answers with CertsForce

The correct answer is A because the /servicesNS/-/data/saved/searches/mySearch endpoint path can be used by someone with a power user role to access information about mySearch, a saved search owned by someone with a user role. The /servicesNS/-/data/saved/searches endpoint returns information about saved searches in a specific namespace. The - symbol in the URI means that the user and app context are inherited from the current session. Therefore, a power user can access the saved search information by using the - symbol, assuming the permissions are set appropriately. The other options are incorrect because they either use invalid endpoints or do not specify the user and app context correctly. You can find more information about the /servicesNS endpoint and the namespace in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

 The correct answer is A and B because these are the ways to get a list of search jobs. Option A is correct because you can access the Activity > Jobs page in Splunk Web to see the list of search jobs that you have run or that are shared with you. Option B is correct because you can use Splunk REST to query the /services/search/jobs endpoint to get a list of search jobs. Option C is incorrect because the /services/saved/searches endpoint returns a list of saved searches, not search jobs. Option D is incorrect because the /services/search/sid/results endpoint returns the results of a specific search job, not a list of search jobs. You can find more information about search jobs and their endpoints in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

The correct answer is C, because /storage/collections/data/sales/smith is the REST endpoint to delete the record with a _key value of smith from the sales collection. The /storage/collections/data endpoint is used to access the KV Store data collections. The sales collection is the name of the collection, and smith is the _key value of the record to be deleted.

When output_mode is not used, the title element of a feed is a human readable name for a returned entry. The title element contains the name of the object, such as the name of a saved search or a dashboard. The other elements are not human readable names, but rather identifiers, links, or authors of the entry. For more information, see Access Splunk data using feeds.

 The valid syntax for specifying an absolute time range modifier in a search is earliest=01/01/2019T00:00:00. The T character separates the date and time components. The other options are invalid because they use either a colon or a space instead of a T. For more information, see Specify time modifiers in your search.

 The correct answer is B, C, and D, because they are all valid parent elements for the event action shown below. The event action is a element, which is used to set the value of a token based on a user interaction, such as a click or a change. The element can be nested inside a , a , or a element, depending on the type and context of the event. The element is not a valid parent element for the element, but a sibling element that can be used to evaluate an expression and set the value of a token.

When added to an app’s default.meta file, export = system makes one of its views available to other apps. This means that the view is visible and searchable by all users. The other options are invalid because export = app means that the view is visible and searchable only within the app, export = none means that the view is not visible or searchable by any user, and export = view is not a valid value for the export attribute. For more information, see About configuration file structure and inheritance.

The correct answer is C, because omitting the value of _key from the REST endpoint would cause all records in a collection to be deleted. The _key is a unique identifier for each record in a KV Store collection. The REST endpoint for deleting a record from a collection is /storage/collections/data//, where is the name of the collection and is the value of _key. If the is omitted, the REST endpoint becomes /storage/collections/data/, which deletes all records in the collection. The other options are incorrect because they are not the consequences of omitting the value of _key from the REST endpoint. Cleaning the KV store, deleting all content would require deleting all collections, not just one. Producing the syntax error “Key value missing” would not happen, because the REST endpoint is valid without the value. Meaning that the _key value must be passed as an argument would not make sense, because the argument is the same as the value in the REST endpoint.

The correct answer is A, B, and C because these are the benefits of using Simple XML Extensions. Simple XML Extensions allow you to customize the appearance and behavior of your dashboards by adding custom layouts, graphics, and behaviors. You can also use JavaScript and CSS to enhance your dashboards. Option D is incorrect because Simple XML Extensions do not affect the Splunk license consumption based on host. You can find more information about Simple XML Extensions in the Splunk Developer Guide.

The correct answer is A, B, and D because these are the examples of a Splunk KV store use case. A Splunk KV store is a service that allows you to store and manage custom data in Splunk, using key-value pairs. A Splunk KV store can be used for various purposes, such as storing checkpoint data, tracking workflow, and storing application state. Option A is correct because a Splunk KV store can store checkpoint data for modular inputs, which are custom data inputs that use external scripts or binaries to collect and send data to Splunk. Checkpoint data is used to keep track of the data collection progress and resume from the last point in case of interruption. Option B is correct because a Splunk KV store can track workflow in an incident-review system, which is a system that allows you to review and manage the incidents that occur in your environment. Workflow data is used to store the status, priority, and assignee of each incident. Option D is correct because a Splunk KV store can store application state as a user interacts with an app, which is a custom interface that allows you to access and analyze the data in Splunk. Application state data is used to store the user preferences, settings, and selections for the app. Option C is incorrect because a Splunk KV store cannot index metrics data from remote HTTP sources, which are sources that send numerical data to Splunk via HTTP or HTTPS. Metrics data is not stored in the Splunk KV store, but rather in the metrics index, which is a special type of index that optimizes the storage and retrieval of metrics data. You can find more information about the Splunk KV store and its use cases in the Splunk Developer Guide.
