Question # 1
| Which statement is true about sub searches? |
| A. Sub searches are faster than other types of searches.
| | B. Sub searches work best for joining two large result sets.
| | C. Sub searches run at the same time as their outer search.
| | D. Sub searches work best for small result sets. |
D. Sub searches work best for small result sets.
Explanation: The Splunk Validated Architectures (SVAs) are proven reference
architectures for stable, efficient and repeatable Splunk deployments. They offer topology
options that consider a wide array of organizational requirements, so the customer can
easily understand and find a topology that is right for their needs. The SVAs also provide
design principles and best practices to help the customer build an environment that is easier to maintain and troubleshoot. The SVAs are available on the Splunk website1 and
can be customized using the Interactive Splunk Validated Architecture (iSVA) tool2.
The other options are incorrect because they do not provide the customer with a reliable
and tailored resource to help them design their new architecture. Option A is too vague and
does not point the customer to a specific document or section. Option B is irrelevant and
does not address the customer’s architectural needs. Option C is unreliable and does not
guarantee that the customer will find a suitable solution for their requirements.
Question # 2
| A customer has implemented their own Role Based Access Control (RBAC) model to
attempt to give the Security team different data access than the Operations team by
creating two new Splunk roles – security and operations. In the srchIndexesAllowed setting
of authorize.conf, they specified the network index
under the security role and the operations index under the operations role. The new roles
are set up to inherit the default user role. If a new user is created and assigned to the operations role only, which indexes will the
user have access to search? |
| A. operations, network, _internal, _audit | | B. operations | | C. No Indexes | | D. operations, network |
A. operations, network, _internal, _audit
Explanation: The user who is assigned to the operations role only will have access to
search the operations, network, _internal, and _audit indexes. This is because the
srchIndexesAllowed setting of authorize.conf specifies the indexes that a role can search,
but it does not restrict the indexes that a role inherits from other roles. The operations role
inherits the user role, which by default can search the _internal and _audit indexes. The
operations role also inherits the security role, which can search the network index.
Therefore, the user who belongs to the operations role can search all these indexes, in
addition to the operations index that is specified for the operations role. Therefore, the
correct answer is A. operations, network, _internal, _audit.
Question # 3
A new single-site three indexer cluster is being stood up with replication_factor:2,
search_factor:2. At which step would the Indexer Cluster be classed as ‘Indexing Ready’
and be able to ingest new data?
Step 1: Install and configure Cluster Master (CM)/Master Node with base clustering stanza
settings, restarting CM.
Step 2: Configure a base app in etc/master-apps on the CM to enable a splunktcp input on
port 9997 and deploy index creation configurations.
Step 3: Install and configure Indexer 1 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, download the latest config bundle.
Step 4: Indexer 1 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
Step 5: Install and configure Indexer 2 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM,
downloads the latest config bundle.
Step 6: Indexer 2 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
Step 7: Install and configure Indexer 3 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM,
downloads the latest config bundle.
Step 8: Indexer 3 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster. |
| A. Step 2 | | B. Step 4 | | C. Step 6 | | D. Step 8 |
C. Step 6
Explanation: The indexer cluster is classed as ‘Indexing Ready’ when it has enough
indexers to meet the replication factor. In this case, the replication factor is 2, which means
that each bucket of data must have two copies across the indexers. Therefore, the cluster
is ready to ingest new data after Step 6, when Indexer 2 joins the cluster and replicates the
data from Indexer 1. Indexer 3 is not required for the cluster to be indexing ready, although
it can provide additional redundancy and search performance.
Question # 4
| A customer has a network device that transmits logs directly with UDP or TCP over SSL.
Using PS best practices, which ingestion method should be used? |
| A. Open a TCP port with SSL on a heavy forwarder to parse and transmit the data to the
indexing tier.
| | B. Open a UDP port on a universal forwarder to parse and transmit the data to the indexing
tier.
| | C. Use a syslog server to aggregate the data to files and use a heavy forwarder to read
and transmit the data to the indexing tier.
| | D. Use a syslog server to aggregate the data to files and use a universal forwarder to read
and transmit the data to the indexing tier. |
C. Use a syslog server to aggregate the data to files and use a heavy forwarder to read
and transmit the data to the indexing tier.
Explanation: The best practice for ingesting data from a network device that transmits logs
directly with UDP or TCP over SSL is to use a syslog server to aggregate the data to files
and use a heavy forwarder to read and transmit the data to the indexing tier. This method
has several advantages, such as:
-
It reduces the load on the network device by sending the data to a dedicated
syslog server.
-
It provides a reliable and secure transport of data by using TCP over SSL between
the syslog server and the heavy forwarder.
-
It allows the heavy forwarder to parse and enrich the data before sending it to the
indexing tier.
-
It preserves the original timestamp and host information of the data by using the
syslog-ng or Splunk Connect for Syslog solutions.
Therefore, the correct answer is C, use a syslog server to aggregate the data to files and
use a heavy forwarder to read and transmit the data to the indexing tier.
Question # 5
| A customer has a search cluster (SHC) of six members split evenly between two data
centers (DC). The customer is concerned with network connectivity between the two DCs
due to frequent outages. Which of the following is true as it relates to SHC resiliency when
a network outage occurs between the two DCs? |
| A. The SHC will function as expected as the SHC deployer will become the new captain
until the network communication is restored. | | B. The SHC will stop all scheduled search activity within the SHC.
| | C. The SHC will function as expected as the minimum required number of nodes for a SHC
is 3.
| | D. The SHC will function as expected as the SHC captain will fall back to previous active
captain in the remaining site. |
C. The SHC will function as expected as the minimum required number of nodes for a SHC
is 3.
Explanation: The SHC will function as expected as the minimum required number of
nodes for a SHC is 3. This is because the SHC uses a quorum-based algorithm to
determine the cluster state and elect the captain. A quorum is a majority of cluster
members that can communicate with each other. As long as a quorum exists, the cluster
can continue to operate normally and serve search requests. If a network outage occurs
between the two data centers, each data center will have three SHC members, but only
one of them will have a quorum. The data center with the quorum will elect a new captain if
the previous one was in the other data center, and the other data center will lose its cluster
status and stop serving searches until the network communication is restored.
The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect what happens when a network
outage occurs between two data centers with a SHC. Option A is incorrect because the
SHC deployer will not become the new captain, as it is not part of the SHC and does not
participate in cluster activities. Option B is incorrect because the SHC will not stop all
scheduled search activity, as it will still run scheduled searches on the data center with the
quorum. Option D is incorrect because the SHC captain will not fall back to previous active
captain in the remaining site, as it will be elected by the quorum based on several factors,
such as load, availability, and priority.
Question # 6
| When a bucket rolls from cold to frozen on a clustered indexer, which of the following
scenarios occurs? |
| A. All replicated copies will be rolled to frozen; original copies will remain. | | B. Replicated copies of the bucket will remain on all other indexers and the Cluster Master (CM) assigns a new primary bucket. | | C. The bucket rolls to frozen on all clustered indexers simultaneously. | | D. Nothing. Replicated copies of the bucket will remain on all other indexers until a local
retention rule causes it to roll. |
C. The bucket rolls to frozen on all clustered indexers simultaneously.
Explanation: This is because the bucket freezing process in a clustered indexer is
controlled by the cluster master, which ensures that all copies of the bucket are frozen at
the same time. This way, the cluster master can maintain the consistency and availability of
the data across the cluster, and avoid any conflicts or errors due to mismatched bucket
states.
The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect what happens when a bucket
rolls from cold to frozen on a clustered indexer. Option A is incorrect because all replicated
copies will not be rolled to frozen, while original copies will remain. This would violate the
replication factor and search factor settings of the cluster, and cause data loss or
unavailability.
Option B is incorrect because replicated copies of the bucket will not remain
on all other indexers, and the cluster master will not assign a new primary bucket. This
would create duplicate and outdated data in the cluster, and cause search inefficiency or
inconsistency. Option D is incorrect because nothing will not happen, and replicated copies
of the bucket will not remain on all other indexers until a local retention rule causes it to roll.
This would create different retention policies for different copies of the same bucket, and
cause data fragmentation or corruption.
Question # 7
| In addition to the normal responsibilities of a search head cluster captain, which of the
following is a default behavior? |
| A. The captain is not a cluster member and does not perform normal search activities.
| | B. The captain is a cluster member who performs normal search activities.
| | C. The captain is not a cluster member but does perform normal search activities.
| | D. The captain is a cluster member but does not perform normal search activities. |
B. The captain is a cluster member who performs normal search activities.
Explanation: A default behavior of a search head cluster captain is that it is a cluster
member who performs normal search activities. This means that the captain can run
searches, display dashboards, access knowledge objects, and perform other functions that
any other search head can do. The captain also has additional responsibilities, such as
coordinating artifact replication, managing search affinity, handling search head failures,
and electing a new captain if needed.
Question # 8
| In a single indexer cluster, where should the Monitoring Console (MC) be installed? |
| A. Deployer sharing with master cluster. | | B. License master that has 50 clients or more | | C. Cluster master node | | D. Production Search Head |
C. Cluster master node
Explanation: In a single indexer cluster, the best practice is to install the Monitoring
Console (MC) on the cluster master node. This is because the cluster master node has
access to all the information about the cluster state, such as the bucket status, the peer
status, the search head status, and the replication and search factors. The MC can use this
information to monitor the health and performance of the cluster and alert on any issues or
anomalies. The MC can also run distributed searches across all the peer nodes and collect
metrics and logs from them.
The other options are incorrect because they are not recommended locations for installing
the MC in a single indexer cluster. Option A is incorrect because the deployer should not
share with the master cluster, as this can cause conflicts and errors in applying
configuration bundles to the cluster. Option B is incorrect because the license master is not
a good candidate for hosting the MC, as it does not have direct access to the cluster
information and it might have a high load from managing license usage for many clients.
Option D is incorrect because the production search head is not a good candidate for
hosting the MC, as it might have a high load from serving user searches and dashboards,
and it might not be able to run distributed searches across all the peer nodes if it is not part
of the cluster.
