SPLK-2003 Practice Test

Explanation:

In Splunk Phantom, child playbooks can access the action results of a parent playbook through the use of the Scope parameter. When a parent playbook calls a child playbook, it can pass certain data along by setting the Scope parameter to include the desired action results. This parameter is configured within the playbook block that initiates the child playbook. By specifying the appropriate scope, the parent playbook effectively determines what data the child playbook will have access to, allowing for a more modular and organized flow of information between playbooks.

Explanation:

The simplest way to pass data between playbooks in Splunk SOAR is through the use of artifacts. Artifacts are objects that can store data and are associated with containers. When multiple playbooks work on a single container, they can access and manipulate the same set of artifacts, allowing for seamless data transfer between playbooks. This method is straightforward and does not require additional setup or management of external storage systems, making it the most direct and efficient way to pass data within the Splunk SOAR environment1.

Explanation:

The default log level for system health debug logs in Splunk SOAR is typically set to INFO. This log level provides a balance between verbosity and relevance, offering insights into the operational status of the system without the detailed granularity of DEBUG or the limited scope of WARN and ERROR levels.

The default log level for system health debug logs is INFO. This means that only informational messages and higher severity messages (such as WARN, ERROR, or CRITICAL) are written to the log files. You can adjust the logging level for each daemon running in Splunk SOAR to help debug or troubleshoot issues. For more details, see Configure the logging levels for Splunk SOAR (On-premises) daemons.

Explanation:

For a container in Splunk SOAR to utilize context-aware actions designed for notable events from Splunk, it is crucial to ensure that the notable event's unique identifier ( event_id) is included in the search results pulled into SOAR. Moreover, by adding a Common Event Format (CEF) definition for the event_id field within Phantom, and setting its data type to something that denotes it as a Splunk notable event ID, SOAR can recognize and appropriately handle these identifiers. This setup facilitates the correct mapping and processing of notable event data within SOAR, enabling the execution of context-aware actions that are specifically tailored to the characteristics of Splunk notable events.

Explanation: An individual asset action can be manually started with the > action button in the Investigation page. This allows the user to select an asset and an action to perform on it. The other options are not valid ways to start an asset action manually. See Performing asset actions for more information. Individual asset actions in Splunk SOAR can be manually initiated from the Investigation page of a container. The "> action" button on this page allows users to execute specific actions associated with assets directly, enabling onthe- fly operations on artifacts or indicators within a container. This feature is particularly useful for ad-hoc analysis and actions, allowing analysts to respond to or investigate specific aspects of an incident without the need for a full playbook.
