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.

 The correct answer is B, C, and D, because they are all valid parent elements for the event action shown below. The event action is a element, which is used to set the value of a token based on a user interaction, such as a click or a change. The element can be nested inside a , a , or a element, depending on the type and context of the event. The element is not a valid parent element for the element, but a sibling element that can be used to evaluate an expression and set the value of a token.

A KV store collection can be associated with a namespace for users in the admin, power, and splunk-system-user roles. These roles have the capability to create and manage KV store collections. The nobody user cannot access any KV store collection, and the users in the admin and power roles alone cannot access the collections in the splunk-system-user namespace. For more information, see KV Store namespaces.

The types of event handlers are set token and form input. Set token event handlers let you set or unset tokens based on user interactions, such as clicking on a chart or selecting a value from a dropdown. Form input event handlers let you create interactive forms that use tokens to pass values between inputs and searches. The other options are not event handlers, but rather components of a dashboard. For more information, see Event handlers overview.

The correct Simple XML tag to place content to set on page load is . This tag lets you define tokens and their values that are set when the dashboard loads. The other tags are either invalid or used for different purposes. For more information, see Tokens.

 Auto-refresh applies to inline searches and saved searches, and post-processing searches are refreshed when their base searches are refreshed. Enabling auto-refresh for a report does not require editing XML, but rather using the Edit Schedule option in the report menu. Each post-processing search using the same base search cannot have a different refresh time, but rather inherits the refresh time of the base search. For more information, see Set up auto-refresh for dashboard panels.

The correct answer is B and C because these are the statements that describe one-shot searches. A one-shot search is a type of search that runs once and returns all the results at once. Option B is correct because a one-shot search can specify csv as an output format, which returns the results as comma-separated values. Option C is correct because a one-shot search streams all the results upon search completion, which means it does not return any partial results while the search is running. Option A is incorrect because a one-shot search can be executed either synchronously or asynchronously, depending on the method used. Option D is incorrect because a one-shot search cannot use auto_cancel to set a timeout limit, as this parameter is only applicable for normal searches. You can find more information about one-shot searches in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

 The containers that are included in the Atom Feed response when using the Splunk REST API are , , and . The feed container represents the entire response, the entry container represents each individual result, and the content container represents the fields and values of each result. The namespace container is not included in the Atom Feed response, but rather in the XML namespace declaration. For more information, see Access Splunk data using feeds.

The correct answer is A and B, because _audit and _internal are the indexes that contain log files related to Splunk REST calls. The _audit index stores information about user activities, such as login attempts, searches, and saved reports. The _internal index stores information about Splunk components, such as splunkd, metrics, and REST calls.

The HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint that should be used to collect data in the given format is services/collector/raw. This endpoint accepts raw data that is not formatted as JSON, such as plain text or XML. The data format is specified by the sourcetype parameter in the request. The other endpoints are either used for different purposes or do not exist. For more information, see Use the raw HEC endpoint.

 The correct answer is A and B because these are the ways to get a list of search jobs. Option A is correct because you can access the Activity > Jobs page in Splunk Web to see the list of search jobs that you have run or that are shared with you. Option B is correct because you can use Splunk REST to query the /services/search/jobs endpoint to get a list of search jobs. Option C is incorrect because the /services/saved/searches endpoint returns a list of saved searches, not search jobs. Option D is incorrect because the /services/search/sid/results endpoint returns the results of a specific search job, not a list of search jobs. You can find more information about search jobs and their endpoints in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

 By using visualization drilldown, you can hide or show a panel by clicking on a chart or a table on the same form. Visualization drilldown lets you define a drilldown action that affects a different panel on the same dashboard. You can use the set or unset tokens to control the visibility of the target panel. For more information, see Visualization drilldown.
