Dindex---security sourcetype=linux secure (invalid OR failed) | count as 'Potential Issues'

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

This is the appropriately formatted SPL search because it follows the SPL syntax rules12, such as:

Using the=operator to specify field-value pairs, such asindex=securityandsourcetype=linux.

Using theORoperator to combine multiple values for the same field, such as(invalid OR failed).

Using the|character to separate commands, such asstats count as 'Potential Issues'.

Using theaskeyword to rename fields, such ascount as 'Potential Issues'.

Wait, can you really use "count stats" like that? Sounds weird!

Option D seems off to me because of the "index---security" part; I don't recall seeing that format in my studies.

I'm a bit confused about the syntax in option C; I don't think "count stats" is valid, right?

I remember practicing with similar questions, and I feel like the correct format should include "count" before "as."

I'm a little unsure about the use of the "as" keyword in this query. I'll need to reference my notes to make sure I'm applying it correctly.

C) has some weird dashes in the index field, so that can't be right. D) is close, but it's missing the 'stats' keyword.

I'm going with B). The 'as' keyword is supposed to come after the stats command, right?
