Splunk Enterprise performs a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) against the first and last bytes to prevent the same file from being re-indexed if it is rotated or renamed. What is the number of bytes sampled by default?
A Splunk architect has inherited the Splunk deployment at Buttercup Games and end users are complaining that the events are inconsistently formatted for a web source. Further investigation reveals that not all weblogs flow through the same infrastructure: some of the data goes through heavy forwarders and some of the forwarders are managed by another department.
Which of the following items might be the cause of this issue?
Which index-time props.conf attributes impact indexing performance? (Select all that apply.)
A Splunk deployment is being architected and the customer will be using Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) and Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). Through data onboarding and sizing, it is determined that over 200 discrete KPIs will be tracked by ITSI and 1TB of data per day by ES. What topology ensures a scalable and performant deployment?
A Splunk instance has crashed, but no crash log was generated. There is an attempt to determine what user activity caused the crash by running the following search:
What does searching for closed_txn=0 do in this search?
(The performance of a specific search is performing poorly. The search must run over All Time and is expected to have very few results. Analysis shows that the search accesses a very large number of buckets in a large index. What step would most significantly improve the performance of this search?)
Of the following types of files within an index bucket, which file type may consume the most disk?
Which of the following is a good practice for a search head cluster deployer?
In which phase of the Splunk Enterprise data pipeline are indexed extraction configurations processed?
Which of the following server. conf stanzas indicates the Indexer Discovery feature has not been fully configured (restart pending) on the Master Node?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Which of the following statements describe a Search Head Cluster (SHC) captain? (Select all that apply.)
(If the maxDataSize attribute is set to auto_high_volume in indexes.conf on a 64-bit operating system, what is the maximum hot bucket size?)
Search dashboards in the Monitoring Console indicate that the distributed deployment is approaching its capacity. Which of the following options will provide the most search performance improvement?
How does IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) impact the planning of a Splunk deployment?
Which Splunk log file would be the least helpful in troubleshooting a crash?
A three-node search head cluster is skipping a large number of searches across time. What should be done to increase scheduled search capacity on the search head cluster?
Which of the following describe migration from single-site to multisite index replication?
In search head clustering, which of the following methods can you use to transfer captaincy to a different member? (Select all that apply.)
When Splunk indexes data in a non-clustered environment, what kind of files does it create by default?
New data has been added to a monitor input file. However, searches only show older data.
Which splunkd. log channel would help troubleshoot this issue?
(A customer has a Splunk Enterprise deployment and wants to collect data from universal forwarders. What is the best step to secure log traffic?)
Which of the following Splunk deployments has the recommended minimum components for a high-availability search head cluster?
(Where can files be placed in a configuration bundle on a search peer that will persist after a new configuration bundle has been deployed?)
A multi-site indexer cluster can be configured using which of the following? (Select all that apply.)
Which of the following is a best practice to maximize indexing performance?
Users are asking the Splunk administrator to thaw recently-frozen buckets very frequently. What could the Splunk administrator do to reduce the need to thaw buckets?
When adding or rejoining a member to a search head cluster, the following error is displayed:
Error pulling configurations from the search head cluster captain; consider performing a destructive configuration resync on this search head cluster member.
What corrective action should be taken?
Which of the following security options must be explicitly configured (i.e. which options are not enabled by default)?
How can internal logging levels in a Splunk environment be changed to troubleshoot an issue? (select all that apply)

Which of the following would be the least helpful in troubleshooting contents of Splunk configuration files?
Which server.conf attribute should be added to the master node's server.conf file when decommissioning a site in an indexer cluster?
A search head has successfully joined a single site indexer cluster. Which command is used to configure the same search head to join another indexer cluster?

(What are the possible values for the mode attribute in server.conf for a Splunk server in the [clustering] stanza?)
Which of the following clarification steps should be taken if apps are not appearing on a deployment client? (Select all that apply.)
(An admin removed and re-added search head cluster (SHC) members as part of patching the operating system. When trying to re-add the first member, a script reverted the SHC member to a previous backup, and the member refuses to join the cluster. What is the best approach to fix the member so that it can re-join?)
(When planning user management for a new Splunk deployment, which task can be disregarded?)
On search head cluster members, where in $splunk_home does the Splunk Deployer deploy app content by default?
When configuring a Splunk indexer cluster, what are the default values for replication and search factor?
