                              Question #1

                              When a forwarder phones home to a Deployment Server it compares the check-sum value of the forwarder's app to the Deployment Server's app. What happens to the app If the check-sum values do not match?

                              • A. The app on the forwarder is only deleted and re-downloaded from the Deployment Server if the forwarder's app has a smaller check-sum value.
                              • B. The app is downloaded from the Deployment Server and the changes are merged.
                              • C. A warning is generated on the Deployment Server stating the apps are out of sync. An Admin will need to confirm which version of the app should be used.
                              • D. The app on the forwarder is always deleted and re-downloaded from the Deployment Server.

                              What information is identified during the input phase of the ingestion process?

                              • A. SRC and DST IP addresses and ports.
                              • B. A hash of the message payload.
                              • C. Metadata fields like sourcetype and host.
                              • D. Line breaking and timestamp.

                              Question #3

                              Configuration folders named default contain configuration files/settings specified in the Splunk product or default settings specified in apps. Which of the following is recommended to override these settings?

                              • A. It does not matter whether setting overrides are placed in default or local folders. Both are equally acceptable since Splunk will merge all the files together into one runtime model after each restart.
                              • B. Any settings to be overridden should be modified in-place wherever the setting was found originally. For example, if overriding a setting originally found in system/default, it should be overridden there to ensure that the desired value is used by Splunk.
                              • C. Try to store all configuration overrides in system/local folder to keep all configurations in one place.This ensures the modification has the highest precedence over all other configuration entries.
                              • D. Overrides should be placed in a folder named local, ideally within a custom Splunk app. This ensures the overrides are preserved upon product or app upgrade and will also be easier to maintain/support.

                              The following Apache access log is being ingested into Splunk via a monitor input:

                              How does Splunk determine the time zone for this event?

                              • A. The time zone of the Heavy/Intermediate Forwarder with the monitor input.
                              • B. The time zone indicator in the raw event data.
                              • C. The value of the TZ attribute in props. cont for the a :ces3_ccwbined sourcetype.
                              • D. The value of the TZ attribute in props, conf for the my.webserver.example host.
