How is an event type created from the search window? (select all that apply)

AIn the top right corner, click Save As > Event Type.

BIn an event's detail dropdown, click Event Actions > Build Event Type.

CEdit eventtypes.conf and add a new stanza.

DAdd | eventtype to the SPL and execute the search.

Suggested Answer: A, C

In Splunk, you can create an event type from the search window by running a search that would make a good event type, then clickingSave Asand selectingEvent Type1.This opens theSave as Event Typedialog, where you can provide the event type name and optionally apply tags to it1.

You can also create an event type by editing theeventtypes.conffile and adding a new stanza1.Each stanza in theeventtypes.conffile represents an event type1.The stanza name is the name of the event type, and thesearchattribute specifies the search string that defines the event type1.

It's important to note that while you can use theeventtypecommand in a search to find events associated with a specific event type, adding| eventtypeto the SPL and executing the search does not create a new event type1.Similarly, clickingEvent Actions > Build Event Typein an event's detail dropdown does not create a new event type1.

A and B are the go-to options for sure!

Not sure about D, seems a bit off to me.

Tequila 11 months ago

Wait, you can create event types from the search window? Really?

Weldon 11 months ago

I think C is also a valid method.

Nada 11 months ago

Definitely A and B! That's how I do it.

Charisse 12 months ago

I believe option D is about using SPL, but I can't recall if that actually creates an event type or just filters results.

Herman 12 months ago

I’m a bit confused about option C; I thought editing the config files was more advanced and not the typical way to create an event type.

Cassandra 12 months ago

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I feel like option B was mentioned as a way to build event types.

Karrie 1 year ago

I think option A sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right way to create an event type.

Dorothy 1 year ago

Wait, I'm a little confused. I thought we could only create event types by editing the eventypes.conf file directly. I'm not sure if any of these other options are valid. I'll have to double-check my notes to be sure.

I've got this! Creating event types is one of the core Splunk skills we've been practicing. I'm pretty confident I know the right way to do it from the search window. I'll just carefully select the correct options.

Okay, let's see here. I remember we can create event types from the search window, but I'm not sure if all of these options are correct. I'll have to read through them closely and try to eliminate the wrong answers.

Elroy 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know we covered event types in class, but I can't quite remember all the different ways to create them. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Tori 1 year ago

This looks like a straightforward question about creating event types in Splunk. I think I can handle this one - the options seem pretty clear.

Kassandra 1 year ago

This is a tricky one, but I think I can figure it out if I focus on the key characteristics of each type of organization.

Mireya 1 year ago

This seems like a straightforward question about configuring a profile to find duplicate records. I'll need to think through the different options and choose the one that best matches the task.

Sheridan 1 year ago

This looks like a straightforward HTML/CSS question. I'll carefully examine the code and compare it to the options to determine the correct answer.

Bronwyn 1 year ago

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about the circumstances under which a broker can overlook an amount due, so I'll need to consider the options carefully.

Alyce 1 year ago

Ah, this is a good one. I've used the Office Deployment Tool before to customize and deploy Office 365 ProPlus. That's definitely one of the tools I'll be selecting.

Jolanda 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to be talking about different components of the overall system architecture. I'll need to think through how the Web Tier fits into that bigger picture.

Hector 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. The client is presenting a cookie, so we need a Cookie Persistence Profile. And since the traffic is SSL, we'll need a Client SSL profile. I think option A is the way to go.
