NEW QUESTION # 83
Other than high availability, which of the following is a benefit of search head clustering?
- A. Fewer network ports are required to be opened between search heads.
- B. Automatic replication of user knowledge objects.
- C. Input settings are synchronized between search heads.
- D. Allows indexers to maintain multiple searchable copies of all data.
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to the Splunk documentation1, one of the benefits of search head clustering is the automatic replication of user knowledge objects, such as dashboards, reports, alerts, and tags. This ensures that all cluster members have the same set of knowledge objects and can serve the same search results to the users. The other options are false because:
* Allowing indexers to maintain multiple searchable copies of all data is a benefit of indexer clustering, not search head clustering2.
* Input settings are not synchronized between search heads, as search head clusters do not collect data from inputs. Data collection is done by forwarders or independent search heads3.
* Fewer network ports are not required to be opened between search heads, as search head clusters use several ports for communication and replication among the members4.
NEW QUESTION # 84
As a best practice, where should the internal licensing logs be stored?
- A. Deployment layer.
- B. Indexing layer.
- C. License server.
- D. Search head layer.
Answer: C
Explanation:
As a best practice, the internal licensing logs should be stored on the license server. The license server is a Splunk instance that manages the distribution and enforcement of licenses in a Splunk deployment. The license server generates internal licensing logs that contain information about the license usage, violations, warnings, and pools. The internal licensing logs should be stored on the license server itself, because they are relevant to the license server's role and function. Storing the internal licensing logs on the license server also simplifies the license monitoring and troubleshooting process. The internal licensing logs should not be stored on the indexing layer, the deployment layer, or the search head layer, because they are not related to the roles and functions of these layers. Storing the internal licensing logs on these layers would also increase the network traffic and disk space consumption
NEW QUESTION # 85
A customer has a four site indexer cluster. The customer has requirements to store five copies of searchable data, with one searchable copy of data at the origin site, and one searchable copy at the disaster recovery site (site4).
Which configuration meets these requirements?
- A. site_replication_factor = origin:l, site4:l, total:5
- B. site_replication_factor = origin:2, site4:l, total:3
- C. site_search_factor = origin:2, site4:l, total:3
- D. site search factor = origin:1, site4:l, total:5
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct configuration to meet the customer's requirements is site_replication_factor = origin:1, site4:1, total:5. This means that each bucket will have one copy at the origin site, one copy at the disaster recovery site (site4), and three copies at any other sites. The total number of copies will be five, as required by the customer. The site_replication_factor determines how many copies of each bucket are stored across the sites in a multisite indexer cluster1. The site_search_factor determines how many copies of each bucket are searchable across the sites in a multisite indexer cluster2. Therefore, option B is the correct answer, and options A, C, and D are incorrect.
1: Configure the site replication factor 2: Configure the site search factor
NEW QUESTION # 86
To reduce the captain's work load in a search head cluster, what setting will prevent scheduled searches from running on the captain?
- A. adhoc_searchhead = true (on the current captain)
- B. captain_is_adhoc_searchhead = true (on the current captain)
- C. adhoc_searchhead = true (on all members)
- D. captain_is_adhoc_searchhead = true (on all members)
Answer: B
Explanation:
To reduce the captain's work load in a search head cluster, the setting that will prevent scheduled searches from running on the captain is captain_is_adhoc_searchhead = true (on the current captain). This setting will designate the current captain as an ad hoc search head, which means that it will not run any scheduled searches, but only ad hoc searches initiated by users. This will reduce the captain's work load and improve the search head cluster performance. The adhoc_searchhead = true (on all members) setting will designate all search head cluster members as ad hoc search heads, which means that none of them will run any scheduled searches, which is not desirable. The adhoc_searchhead = true (on the current captain) setting will have no effect, as this setting is ignored by the captain. The captain_is_adhoc_searchhead = true (on all members) setting will have no effect, as this setting is only applied to the current captain. For more information, see Configure the captain as an ad hoc search head in the Splunk documentation.
NEW QUESTION # 87
Which search head cluster component is responsible for pushing knowledge bundles to search peers, replicating configuration changes to search head cluster members, and scheduling jobs across the search head cluster?
- A. Master
- B. Deployment server
- C. Captain
- D. Deployer
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The captain is the search head cluster component that is responsible for pushing knowledge bundles to search peers, replicating configuration changes to search head cluster members, and scheduling jobs across the search head cluster. The captain is elected from among the search head cluster members and performs these tasks in addition to serving search requests. The master is the indexer cluster component that is responsible for managing the replication and availability of data across the peer nodes. The deployer is the standalone instance that is responsible for distributing apps and other configurations to the search head cluster members. The deployment server is the instance that is responsible for distributing apps and other configurations to the deployment clients, such as forwarders
NEW QUESTION # 88

Answer: B,C
NEW QUESTION # 89
In a distributed environment, knowledge object bundles are replicated from the search head to which location on the search peer(s)?
- A. SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/searchpeers
- B. SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/searchpeers
- C. SPLUNK_HOME/var/spool/searchpeers
- D. SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/searchpeers
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 90
When planning a search head cluster, which of the following is true?
- A. All indexers must belong to the underlying indexer cluster (no standalone indexers).
- B. All search heads must use the same operating system.
- C. The search head captain must be assigned to the largest search head in the cluster.
- D. All search heads must be members of the cluster (no standalone search heads).
Answer: A
Explanation:
When planning a search head cluster, the following statement is true: All indexers must belong to the underlying indexer cluster (no standalone indexers). A search head cluster is a group of search heads that share configurations, apps, and search jobs. A search head cluster requires an indexer cluster as its data source, meaning that all indexers that provide data to the search head cluster must be members of the same indexer cluster. Standalone indexers, or indexers that are not part of an indexer cluster, cannot be used as data sources for a search head cluster. All search heads do not have to use the same operating system, as long as they are compatible with the Splunk version and the indexer cluster. All search heads do not have to be members of the cluster, as standalone search heads can also search the indexer cluster, but they will not have the benefits of configuration replication and load balancing. The search head captain does not have to be assigned to the largest search head in the cluster, as the captain is dynamically elected from among the cluster members based on various criteria, such as CPU load, network latency, and search load.

NEW QUESTION # 94
A Splunk user successfully extracted an ip address into a field called src_ip. Their colleague cannot see that field in their search results with events known to have src_ip. Which of the following may explain the problem? (Select all that apply.)
- A. The colleague did not explicitly use the field in the search and the search was set to Fast Mode.
- B. The Typing Queue, which does regular expression replacements, is blocked.
- C. The events are tagged as communicate, but are missing the network tag.
- D. The field was extracted as a private knowledge object.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The following may explain the problem of why a colleague cannot see the src_ip field in their search results:
The field was extracted as a private knowledge object, and the colleague did not explicitly use the field in the search and the search was set to Fast Mode. A knowledge object is a Splunk entity that applies some knowledge or intelligence to the data, such as a field extraction, a lookup, or a macro. A knowledge object can have different permissions, such as private, app, or global. A private knowledge object is only visible to the user who created it, and it cannot be shared with other users. A field extraction is a type of knowledge object that extracts fields from the raw data at index time or search time. If a field extraction is created as a private knowledge object, then only the user who created it can see the extracted field in their search results. A search mode is a setting that determines how Splunk processes and displays the search results, such as Fast, Smart, or Verbose. Fast mode is the fastest and most efficient search mode, but it also limits the number of fields and events that are displayed. Fast mode only shows the default fields, such as _time, host, source, sourcetype, and
_raw, and any fields that are explicitly used in the search. If a field is not used in the search and it is not a default field, then it will not be shown in Fast mode. The events are tagged as communicate, but are missing the network tag, and the Typing Queue, which does regular expression replacements, is blocked, are not valid explanations for the problem. Tags are labels that can be applied to fields or field values to make them easier to search. Tags do not affect the visibility of fields, unless they are used as filters in the search. The Typing Queue is a component of the Splunk data pipeline that performs regular expression replacements on the data, such as replacing IP addresses with host names. The Typing Queue does not affect the field extraction process, unless it is configured to do so

- D. Rawdata
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 97
Which of the following describe migration from single-site to multisite index replication?
- A. Single-site buckets instantly receive the multisite policies.
- B. A master node is required at each site.
- C. Multisite total values should not exceed any single-site factors.
- D. Multisite policies apply to new data only.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Migration from single-site to multisite index replication only affects new data, not existing data. Multisite policies apply to new data only, meaning that data that is ingested after the migration will follow the multisite replication and search factors. Existing data, or data that was ingested before the migration, will retain the single-site policies, unless they are manually converted to multisite buckets. Single-site buckets do not instantly receive the multisite policies, nor do they automatically convert to multisite buckets. Multisite total values can exceed any single-site factors, as long as they do not exceed the number of peer nodes in the cluster. A master node is not required at each site, only one master node is needed for the entire cluster
NEW QUESTION # 98
Which of the following artifacts are included in a Splunk diag file? (Select all that apply.)
- A. Internal logs.
- B. OS settings.
- C. Customer data.
- D. Configuration files.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The following artifacts are included in a Splunk diag file:
* Internal logs. These are the log files that Splunk generates to record its own activities, such as splunkd.log, metrics.log, audit.log, and others. These logs can help troubleshoot Splunk issues and monitor Splunk performance.
* Configuration files. These are the files that Splunk uses to configure various aspects of its operation, such as server.conf, indexes.conf, props.conf, transforms.conf, and others. These files can help understand Splunk settings and behavior. The following artifacts are not included in a Splunk diag file:
* OS settings. These are the settings of the operating system that Splunk runs on, such as the kernel version, the memory size, the disk space, and others. These settings are not part of the Splunk diag file, but they can be collected separately using the diag --os option.
* Customer data. These are the data that Splunk indexes and makes searchable, such as the rawdata and the tsidx files. These data are not part of the Splunk diag file, as they may contain sensitive or confidential information. For more information, see Generate a diagnostic snapshot of your Splunk Enterprise deployment in the Splunk documentation.
