monitoring all of the files ending with .log?
Files:
/var/log/www1/secure.log
/var/log/www1/access.log
/var/log/www2/logs/secure.log
/var/log/www2/access.log

Where is the recommended place to deploy input apps that are not permitted on Splunk Cloud?
A. Universal Forwarder or Heavy Forwarder.
B. Heavy Forwarder only.
C. Universal Forwarder only.
D. Apps cannot be installed on on-prem instances.
Explanation: For input apps that are not permitted on Splunk Cloud, the recommended place to deploy them is on a Universal Forwarder or Heavy Forwarder. These forwarders handle data collection and preprocessing before sending the data to Splunk Cloud. This setup allows organizations to leverage apps and configurations that are not supported directly in the cloud environment.
Which of the following app installation scenarios can be achieved without involving Splunk Support?
A. Deploy premium apps.
B. Install apps via the Request Install button.
C. Install apps via self-service.
D. Install apps that have not gone through the vetting process.
Explanation: In Splunk Cloud, you can install apps via self-service, which allows you to
install certain approved apps without involving Splunk Support. This self-service capability
is provided for apps that have already been vetted and approved for use in the Splunk
Cloud environment.
Option A typically requires support involvement because premium apps often need
licensing or other special considerations.
Option B might involve the Request Install button, but some apps might still require
vetting or support approval.
Option D is incorrect because apps that have not gone through the vetting process
cannot be installed via self-service and would require Splunk Support for
evaluation and approval.
Which of the following statements regarding apps in Splunk Cloud is true?
A. Self-service install of premium apps is possible.
B. Only Cloud certified and vetted apps are supported.
C. Any app that can be deployed in an on-prem Splunk Enterprise environment is also supported on Splunk Cloud.
D. Self-service install is available for all apps on Splunkbase.
Explanation: In Splunk Cloud, only apps that have been certified and vetted by Splunk are
supported. This is because Splunk Cloud is a managed service, and Splunk ensures that
all apps meet specific security, performance, and compatibility requirements before they
can be installed. This certification process guarantees that the apps won’t negatively
impact the overall environment, ensuring a stable and secure cloud service.
Self-service installation is available, but it is limited to apps that are certified for Splunk
Cloud. Non-certified apps cannot be installed directly; they require a review and approval
process by Splunk support.
Splunk Cloud Reference: Refer to Splunk’s documentation on app installation and the list
of Cloud-vetted apps available on Splunkbase to understand which apps can be installed in
Splunk Cloud.
