Discuss Splunk SPLK-1002 Exam Topic 2 Question 123

Which of the following Statements about macros is true? (select all that apply)

AArguments are defined at execution time.

BArguments are defined when the macro is created.

CArgument values are used to resolve the search string at execution time.

DArgument values are used to resolve the search string when the macro is created.

Suggested Answer: B, C

A macro is a way to save a commonly used search string as a variable that you can reuse in other searches1.When you create a macro, you can define arguments that are placeholders for values that you specify at execution time1.The argument values are used to resolve the search string when the macro is invoked, not when it is created1. Therefore, statements B and C are true, while statements A and D are false.

I’m not sure about A. It feels like arguments should be defined beforehand.

I agree, B makes sense. But I also think C is correct. Values are used at execution.

Donte 3 months ago

I think B is true. Arguments are set when the macro is created.

I always thought arguments were set at creation, so B makes sense!

B is definitely true!

I’m confused about A and C; I feel like they both could be true, but I need to double-check how arguments work in macros.

Juan 6 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I think D is definitely wrong because argument values should be resolved when the macro runs, not when it's created.

Nu 6 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like arguments are resolved at execution time, which might make A and C true.

I think I remember that arguments in macros are usually defined when the macro is created, so maybe B is correct?
