The URL that could be used to construct a REST request to search the employee KV Store collection to find records with a rating greater than or equal to 2 and less than 5 is ‘http://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/search/storage/collections/data/ employees?query={%22$and%22:[{%22rating%22:{%22$gte%22:2}},{%22rating%22:{% 22$lt%22:5}}]} &output_mode=json’. This URL uses the query parameter with a valid JSON expression that specifies the rating criteria, and the output_mode parameter with a value of json to return the results in JSON format. The other URLs are either invalid or use incorrect syntax for the query parameter. For more information, see Search a KV Store collection.

 The element in a successful Splunk REST call response contains metadata encapsulating the element. The metadata includes information such as the title, author, updated time, and links of the entry. The content element contains the fields and values of the entry, such as the name, description, and configuration. The other options are either incorrect or not part of the element. For more information, see Access Splunk data using feeds.

 The correct answer is B and D, because they are the files within an app that contain permissions information. Permissions information refers to the access control settings for the app, such as who can read and write to the app, and whether the app is visible to all users or only to the app owner. The files that contain permissions information are the metadata/local.meta and metadata/default.meta files, which are located in the metadata folder of the app. The local/metadata.conf and default/metadata.conf files do not exist, and are not valid configuration files for an app.

 The correct answer is B, C, and D because these are the characteristics of an add-on. An add-on is a Splunk app that provides reusable components or technology for other apps. Option B is correct because an add-on occupies a unique namespace within Splunk, which means it has its own app directory and configuration files. Option C is correct because an add-on can depend on other add-ons for correct operation, such as the Common Information Model Add-on. Option D is correct because an add-on contains technology or components that are not intended for reuse by other apps, such as data inputs, field extractions, lookups, and modular inputs. Option A is incorrect because an add-on does not require a navigation file, as it does not have any user interface elements. You can find more information about add-ons in the Splunk Developer Guide.

The token filter that encodes URL values is tokenn​ame∣u. This filter applies the URL encoding to the token value, which replaces special characters with percent-encoded characters. This is useful for passing token values as query parameters in a drilldown. The other token filters are either invalid or used for different purposes. For more information, see [Token filters].

The correct answer is A and D, because configuring a WMI input and using a Windows universal forwarder are the ways to collect event logs from a remote Windows machine using a standard Splunk installation and no customization. WMI input is a type of input that collects Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) data from remote Windows machines. Windows universal forwarder is a lightweight version of Splunk that can forward data from Windows machines to Splunk indexers.

 The correct answer is B and D, because they are the ways to optimize the searches in the dashboard. A dashboard is a user interface that displays data from one or more searches in various panels, such as charts, tables, or maps. Optimizing the searches in the dashboard helps to improve the dashboard performance, reduce the load on the Splunk server, and enhance the user experience. Restricting the time range of the search as much as possible and converting the common SPL into a Global Search and converting the other searches to post-processing searches are both methods to optimize the searches in the dashboard by limiting the amount of data to be searched or processed. Converting searches to include NOT expressions and replacing | stats command with | transaction command wherever possible are not methods to optimize the searches in the dashboard, but rather ways to change the search logic or functionality, which might not produce the desired results.
