Discuss Splunk SPLK-1002 Exam Topic 11 Question 72

When is a GET workflow action needed?

ATo send field values to an external resource.

BTo retrieve information from an external resource.

CTo use field values to perform a secondary search.

DTo define how events flow from forwarders to indexes.

Suggested Answer: C

To use a search macro in a search string, you need to place a back tick character (`) before and after the macro name1. You also need to use the same number of arguments as defined in the macro2. The macro weekly sales (2) has two arguments: Price and AmountSold. Therefore, you need to provide two values for these arguments when you call the macro.

The option A is incorrect because it uses parentheses instead of back ticks around the macro name. The option B is incorrect because it uses underscores instead of spaces in the macro name. The option D is incorrect because it uses spaces instead of commas to separate the argument values.

I thought it was for secondary searches, C makes sense too!

A is also important for sending data out, though!

Thad 11 months ago

Wait, is it really just for retrieving info? Seems too simple.

I agree, B is the right choice!

Definitely B! That's when you pull data from somewhere else.

I feel like option B makes the most sense based on what we covered in class about workflows and data retrieval.

I’m a bit confused; I thought GET was for sending data, but now I’m leaning towards it being for retrieving info.

I remember practicing a question where we had to identify when to use GET, and I think it was definitely about getting data from somewhere.

I think a GET workflow action is used to retrieve information, but I'm not entirely sure if it's just for external resources.

I'm pretty sure ARP uses a broadcast to interrogate the network and find the MAC address for a given IP address. I remember learning that in class.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The question is asking for the identity management feature that would meet the requirement of logging in with a username/password and authenticating with a phone app. I'm pretty confident the answer is multi-factor authentication.

This seems pretty straightforward. I think the key is to focus on the specific benefits of enabling external spam quarantine on Cisco SMA.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The question mentions message screening and message-layer security, but it's not clear how those are related to the XPath injection issue. I'll need to think this through step-by-step.
