What are the two most efficient search filters?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

This is the correct answer because these two filters can help you limit the amount of data that Splunk retrieves from disk, which is the key to fast searching1.The _time filter allows you to specify a narrow time window for your search, which reduces the number of buckets that Splunk scans2.The index filter allows you to specify which index or indexes contain the data that you want to search, which reduces the number of files that Splunk reads3.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. _time is definitely the most important filter to narrow down the search, so that's a given. Then it's a choice between host, index, or sourcetype as the second filter. I'm leaning towards A - _time and host, since host can help further refine the search, but I'm not 100% sure.
