Splunk Splunk Certifications SPLK-3002 Questions & Answers

• Question 41:

  In distributed search, which components need to be installed on instances other than the search head?

  A. SA-IndexCreationand SA-ITSI-Licensecheckeron indexers.

  B. SA-IndexCreationand SA-ITOA on indexers; SA-ITSI-Licensecheckerand SA-UserAccess on the license master.

  C. SA-IndexCreationon idexers; SA-ITSI-Licensecheckerand SA-UserAccesson the license master.

  D. SA-ITSI-Licensecheckeron indexers.

  Correct Answer: A

  SA-IndexCreation is required on all indexers. For non-clustered, distributed environments, copy SA-IndexCreation to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/ on individual indexers.

• Question 42:

  When deploying ITSI on a distributed Splunk installation, which component must be installed on the search head(s)?

  A. SA-ITOA

  B. ITSI app

  C. All ITSI components

  D. SA-ITSI-Licensechecker

  Correct Answer: D

  Install SA-ITSI-Licensechecker and SA-UserAccess on any license master in a distributed or search head cluster environment. If a search head in your environment is also a license master, the license master components are installed when you install ITSI on the search heads.

• Question 43:

  Which of the following is the best use case for configuring a Multi-KPI Alert?

  A. Comparing content between two notable events.

  B. Using machine learning to evaluate when data falls outside of an expected pattern.

  C. Comparing anomaly detection between two KPIs.

  D. Raising an alert when one or more KPIs indicate an outage is occurring.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 44:

  Which of the following is a characteristic of base searches?

  A. Search expression, entity splitting rules, and thresholds are configured at the base search level.

  B. It is possible to filter to entities assigned to the service for calculating the metrics for the service's KPIs.

  C. The fewer KPIs that share a common base search, the more efficiency a base search provides, and anomaly detection is more efficient.

  D. The base search will execute whether or not a KPI needs it.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 45:

  What are valid ITSI Glass Table editor capabilities? (Choose all that apply.)

  A. Creating glass tables.

  B. Correlation search creation.

  C. Service swapping configuration.

  D. Adding KPI metric lanes to glass tables.

  Correct Answer: ACD

  Create a glass table to visualize and monitor the interrelationships and dependencies across your IT and

  business services.

  The service swapping settings are saved and apply the next time you open the glass table.

  You can add metrics like KPIs, ad hoc searches, and service health scores that update in real time against

  a background that you design. Glass tables show real-time data generated by KPIs and services.

• Question 46:

  Which glass table feature can be used to toggle displaying KPI values from more than one service on a single widget?

  A. Service templates.

  B. Service dependencies.

  C. Ad-hoc search.

  D. Service swapping.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 47:

  Which deep dive swim lane type does not require writing SPL?

  A. Event lane.

  B. Automatic lane.

  C. Metric lane.

  D. KPI lane.

  Correct Answer: B

  Among all the search configurations, automatic lane doesn't need to be written in Splunk Processing language.

• Question 48:

  Which of the following items apply to anomaly detection? (Choose all that apply.)

  A. Use AD on KPIs that have an unestablished baseline of data points. This allows the ML pattern to perform it's magic.

  B. A minimum of 24 hours of data is needed for anomaly detection, and a minimum of 4 entities for cohesive analysis.

  C. Anomaly detection automatically generates notable events when KPI data diverges from the pattern.

  D. There are 3 types of anomaly detection supported in ITSI: adhoc, trending, and cohesive.

  Correct Answer: BC

  The KPI must be split by entity, and a minimum of four entities is required.

  If the KPI diverges from the normal pattern, ITSI creates a notable event in Episode Review.

• Question 49:

  Which of the following is a best practice when configuring maintenance windows?

  A. Disable any glass tables that reference a KPI that is part of an open maintenance window.

  B. Develop a strategy for configuring a service's notable event generation when the service's maintenance window is open.

  C. Give the maintenance window a buffer, for example, 15 minutes before and after actual maintenance work.

  D. Change the color of services and entities that are part of an open maintenance window in the service analyzer.

  Correct Answer: C

  It's a best practice to schedule maintenance windows with a 15- to 30-minute time buffer before and after you start and stop your maintenance work.

• Question 50:

  In Episode Review, what is the result of clicking an episode's Acknowledge button?

  A. Assign the current user as owner.

  B. Change status from New to Acknowledged.

  C. Change status from New to In Progress and assign the current user as owner.

  D. Change status from New to Acknowledged and assign the current user as owner.

  Correct Answer: C

  When an episode warrants investigation, the analyst acknowledges the episode, which moves the status from New to In Progress.
