When can the Search Job Inspector be used to debug searches?
A. If the search has not expired.
B. If the search is currently running.
C. If the search has been queued.
D. If the search has expired.
Explanation: The Search Job Inspector can be used to debug searches if the search has not expired. This means that the search artifact still exists on the search head and can be inspected for performance and error information. The Search Job Inspector can be accessed from the Job menu in Splunk Web, or by using the btool command with the job_inspector option. The search does not need to be running or queued to use the Search Job Inspector, as long as it has not expired. Therefore, the correct answer is A, if the search has not expired.
A customer has the following Splunk instances within their environment: An indexer cluster consisting of a cluster master/master node and five clustered indexers, two search heads (no search head clustering), a deployment server, and a license master. The deployment server and license master are running on their own single-purpose instances. The customer would like to start using the Monitoring Console (MC) to monitor the whole environment. On the MC instance, which instances will need to be configured as distributed search peers by specifying them via the UI using the settings menu?
A. Just the cluster master/master node
B. Indexers, search heads, deployment server, license master, cluster master/master node.
C. Search heads, deployment server, license master, cluster master/master node
D. Deployment server, license master
Explanation: The Monitoring Console (MC) is a Splunk app that provides a comprehensive view of the health and performance of a Splunk environment. The MC can be configured to monitor a single instance or a distributed deployment. To monitor a distributed deployment, the MC instance needs to be configured as a search head that can run distributed searches across the other instances in the environment. Therefore, the MC instance needs to have the other search heads, the deployment server, the license master, and the cluster master/master node as distributed search peers. The MC instance does not need to have the indexers as distributed search peers, because the cluster master/master node already provides access to the indexed data in the cluster. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Search heads, deployment server, license master, cluster master/master node.
When using SAML, where does user authentication occur?
A. Splunk generates a SAML assertion that authenticates the user.
B. The Service Provider (SP) decodes the SAML request and authenticates the user.
C. The Identity Provider (IDP) decodes the SAML request and authenticates the user.
D. The Service Provider (SP) generates a SAML assertion that authenticates the user.
Explanation: When using SAML, user authentication occurs at the Identity Provider (IDP). The IDP is a system that verifies the user’s identity and provides a SAML assertion to the Service Provider (SP). The SP is a system that trusts the IDP and grants access to the user based on the SAML assertion. The SAML assertion contains information about the user’s identity, attributes, and authorization level.
A customer has a multisite cluster (two sites, each site in its own data center) and users experiencing a slow response when searches are run on search heads located in either site. The Search Job Inspector shows the delay is being caused by search heads on either site waiting for results to be returned by indexers on the opposing site. The network team has confirmed that there is limited bandwidth available between the two data centers, which are in different geographic locations. Which of the following would be the least expensive and easiest way to improve search performance?
A. Configure site_search_factor to ensure a searchable copy exists in the local site for each search head.
B. Move all indexers and search heads in one of the data centers into the same site.
C. Install a network pipe with more bandwidth between the two data centers.
D. Set the site setting on each indexer in the server.conf clustering stanza to be the same for all indexers regardless of site.
Explanation: The least expensive and easiest way to improve search performance for a multisite cluster with limited bandwidth between sites is to configure site_search_factor to ensure a searchable copy exists in the local site for each search head. This option allows the search heads to use search affinity, which means they will prefer to search the data on their local site, avoiding network traffic across sites. This option also preserves the disaster recovery benefit of multisite clustering, as each site still has a full copy of the data. Therefore, the correct answer is A, configure site_search_factor to ensure a searchable copy exists in the local site for each search head.
Which of the following statements is true, as it pertains to search head clustering (SHC)?
A. SHC is supported on AIX, Linux, and Windows operating systems.
B. Maximum number of nodes for a SHC is 10.
C. SHC members must run on the same hardware specifications.
D. Minimum number of nodes for a SHC is 5.
Explanation: Splunk Data Model Acceleration (DMA) summaries are stored in
summaryHomePath, which is an attribute in the indexes.conf file that specifies the location
of the summary files for data model acceleration. By default, the summaryHomePath is set
to $SPLUNK_DB/
