Question#2

Which statement is true?

D. In most cases, each Splunk user will create their own data model.

Explanation:
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/Pivot/IntroductiontoPivot
Pivot is used for creating reports and dashboards. Pivot is a tool that allows you to create reports and dashboards from your data models without writing any SPL commands. Pivot can help you visualize and analyze your data using various options, such as filters, rows, columns, cells, charts, tables, maps, etc. Pivot can also help you accelerate your reports and dashboards by using summary data from your accelerated data models.
Pivot is not used for creating datasets or data models. Datasets are collections of events that represent your data in a structured and hierarchical way. Data models are predefined datasets for various domains, such as network traffic, web activity, authentication, etc. Datasets and data models can be created by using commands such as datamodel or pivot.

Question#3

Calculated fields can be based on which of the following?

A. Tags
B. Extracted fields
C. Output fields for a lookup
D. Fields generated from a search string

Explanation:
"Calculated fields can reference all types of field extractions and field aliasing, but they cannot reference lookups, event types, or tags."

Question#4

Which of the following can be saved as an event type?

A. index=server_485 sourcetype=BETA_726 code=917 ['inputlookup append=t servercode.csv]
B. index=server_485 sourcetype=BETA_726 code=917 | stats where code > 200
C. index=server_485 sourcetype=BETA_726 code=917
D. index=server_485 sourcetype=BETA_726 code=917 | stats count by code

Explanation:
Event types in Splunk are saved as static search strings. The example index=server_485 sourcetype=BETA_726 code=917 is a simple search that can be saved as an event type, as it does not contain dynamic processing commands like stats or inputlookup, which are not valid for event types.
Reference: Splunk Docs - Event types

Question#5

Which of the following can be used with the eval command tostring function (select all that apply)

A. ‘’hex’’
B. ‘’commas’’
C. ‘’Decimal’’
D. ‘’duration’’

Explanation:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.0/SearchReference/ConversionFunctions#tostri ng.28X.2CY.29
The tostring function in the eval command converts a numeric value to a string value. It can take an optional second argument that specifies the format of the string value. Some of the possible formats are:
hex: converts the numeric value to a hexadecimal string.
commas: adds commas to separate thousands in the numeric value.
duration: converts the numeric value to a human-readable duration string, such as “2h 3m 4s”.
Therefore, the formats A, B, and D can be used with the tostring function.
