Splunk SPLK-1002 Exam - Topic 10 Question 84 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1002 exam

Question #: 84
Topic #: 10

A user wants to create a workflow action that will retrieve a specific field value from an event and run a search in a new browser window

in the user's Splunk instance. What kind of workflow action should they create?

AA Run workflow action, because the user is running a new search with a specific field value from an event returned in the user's search.

BA Search workflow action, because the user is running a new search with a specific field value from an event returned in the user's search.

CA POST workflow action, because the search is being sent to the user's current Splunk instance.

DA GET workflow action, because a field value needs to be retrieved from the events returned in the user's search.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A Search workflow action is the appropriate choice when a user wants to retrieve a specific field value from an event and run a search in a new browser window within their Splunk instance (Option B). This type of workflow action allows users to define a search that utilizes field values from selected events as parameters, enabling more detailed investigation or context-specific analysis based on the original search results.

A GET workflow action? Not sure about that one...

Wait, why would it be a POST action? That seems off.

I think it should be a Run workflow action instead.

Definitely a Search workflow action! That's the right move.

I thought a POST workflow action was for sending data, not retrieving it. So, it might be a GET workflow action, but I’m not completely confident.

I feel like we discussed Run workflow actions in class, but this seems more like a Search workflow action. I hope I remember it right!

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about GET and POST actions. Maybe it's a GET workflow action since it's retrieving a field value?

I think the user needs to create a Search workflow action since they're running a new search with a field value. That sounds familiar from our practice questions.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is the user running a new search or just retrieving a field value? The question isn't super clear on that. I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand what's being asked.

Okay, let me break this down. The user wants to retrieve a field value from an event and run a new search in a new browser window. That sounds like they need to use a Run workflow action to execute the new search. I'm pretty confident that A is the correct answer here.

This seems like a straightforward question. I think the answer is A - a Run workflow action, since the user is running a new search with a specific field value from an event.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Is it really a Run workflow action, or could it be a Search workflow action since the user is running a new search? I'll need to think this through carefully.

I think it's option D that talks about performing the unsubscribe process on behalf of the user. That sounds like what I reviewed recently.

But wouldn't a GET workflow action be more appropriate to retrieve the field value?

You know, I was about to pick 'Run' workflow action, but I think 'Search' makes more sense. The user is essentially executing a new search, even if it's triggered by a field value from an existing event.

Haha, I bet the exam writers threw in those 'POST' and 'GET' options to trip people up. Nice try, but I'm sticking with 'Search' workflow action. Seems the most straightforward answer to me.

I'm a little confused by the options. Why would it be a 'POST' or 'GET' workflow action? Isn't this just about running a new search in a separate window? I'm leaning towards 'Search' as well.

I'm going with option B, 'Search' workflow action. The question clearly states the user wants to 'run a search in a new browser window', so that points to a 'Search' action in my opinion.

I think it's a 'Search' workflow action. The user is essentially performing a new search based on a field value from an existing event, so that seems to fit the description.

This is a tricky one. The user wants to retrieve a field value from an event and then run a new search in a separate browser window. I'm not sure if that counts as a 'Run' or 'Search' workflow action. Hmm, tough call.
