SPLK-4001 Practice Test


Page 1 out of 11 Pages

A Software Engineer is troubleshooting an issue with memory utilization in their application. They released a new canary version to production and now want to determine if the average memory usage is lower for requests with the 'canary' version dimension. They've already opened the graph of memory utilization for their service. How does the engineer see if the new release lowered average memory utilization?


A. On the chart for plot A, select Add Analytics, then select MeanrTransformation. In the window that appears, select 'version' from the Group By field.


B. On the chart for plot A, scroll to the end and click Enter Function, then enter 'A/B-l'.


C. On the chart for plot A, select Add Analytics, then select Mean:Aggregation. In the window that appears, select 'version' from the Group By field.


D. On the chart for plot A, click the Compare Means button. In the window that appears, type 'version1.





C.
  On the chart for plot A, select Add Analytics, then select Mean:Aggregation. In the window that appears, select 'version' from the Group By field.


Explanation:

The correct answer is C. On the chart for plot A, select Add Analytics, then select Mean:Aggregation. In the window that appears, select ‘version’ from the Group By field. This will create a new plot B that shows the average memory utilization for each version of the application. The engineer can then compare the values of plot B for the ‘canary’ and ‘stable’ versions to see if there is a significant difference.

What happens when the limit of allowed dimensions is exceeded for an MTS?


A. The additional dimensions are dropped.


B. The datapoint is averaged.


C. The datapoint is updated.


D. The datapoint is dropped.





A.
  The additional dimensions are dropped.


Explanation:

According to the web search results, dimensions are metadata in the form of key-value pairs that monitoring software sends in along with the metrics. The set of metric time series (MTS) dimensions sent during ingest is used, along with the metric name, to uniquely identify an MTS1. Splunk Observability Cloud has a limit of 36 unique dimensions per MTS2. If the limit of allowed dimensions is exceeded for an MTS, the additional dimensions are dropped and not stored or indexed by Observability Cloud2. This means that the data point is still ingested, but without the extra dimensions. Therefore, option A is correct.

One server in a customer's data center is regularly restarting due to power supply issues. What type of dashboard could be used to view charts and create detectors for this server?


A. Single-instance dashboard


B. Machine dashboard


C. Multiple-service dashboard


D. Server dashboard





A.
  Single-instance dashboard


Explanation:

According to the Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document1, a single-instance dashboard is a type of dashboard that displays charts and information for a single instance of a service or host. You can use a single-instance dashboard to monitor the performance and health of a specific server, such as the one that is restarting due to power supply issues. You can also create detectors for the metrics that are relevant to the server, such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and uptime. Therefore, option A is correct.

For a high-resolution metric, what is the highest possible native resolution of the metric?


A. 2 seconds


B. 15 seconds


C. 1 second


D. 5 seconds





C.
  1 second


Explanation:

The correct answer is C. 1 second.

According to the Splunk Test Blueprint - O11y Cloud Metrics User document1, one of the metrics concepts that is covered in the exam is data resolution and rollups. Data resolution refers to the granularity of the metric data points, and rollups are the process of aggregating data points over time to reduce the amount of data stored.

The Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document2 states that one of the recommended courses for preparing for the exam is Introduction to Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring, which covers the basics of metrics monitoring and visualization.

In the Introduction to Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring course, there is a section on Data Resolution and Rollups, which explains that Splunk Observability Cloud collects high-resolution metrics at 1-second intervals by default, and then applies rollups to reduce the data volume over time. The document also provides a table that shows the different rollup intervals and retention periods for different resolutions.

Therefore, based on these documents, we can conclude that for a high-resolution metric, the highest possible native resolution of the metric is 1 second.

Where does the Splunk distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector store the configuration files on Linux machines by default?


A. /opt/splunk/


B. /etc/otel/collector/


C. /etc/opentelemetry/


D. /etc/system/default/





B.
  /etc/otel/collector/


Explanation:

The correct answer is B. /etc/otel/collector/

According to the web search results, the Splunk distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector stores the configuration files on Linux machines in the /etc/otel/collector/ directory by default. You can verify this by looking at the first result1, which explains how to install the Collector for Linux manually. It also provides the locations of the default configuration file, the agent configuration file, and the gateway configuration file.

To learn more about how to install and configure the Splunk distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector, you can refer to this documentation2.
