Splunk SPLK-1002 Exam - Topic 6 Question 85 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1002 exam

Question #: 85
Topic #: 6

Consider the following search:

Index=web sourcetype=access_combined

The log shows several events that share the same JSESSIONID value (SD404K289O2F151). View the events as a group. From the following list, which search groups events by JSESSIONID?

Aindex=web sourcetype=access_combined SD404K289O2F151 I table JSESSIONID

Bindex=web sourcetype=access_combined JSESSIONID <SD404K289O2F151>

Cindex=web sourcetype=access_combined I highlight JSESSIONID I search SD404K289O2F151

Dindex-web sourcetype=access_combined I transaction JSESSIONID I search SD404K289O2F151

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

In Splunk, when using the chart command, the useother parameter can be set to false (f) to remove the 'OTHER' category, which is a bucket that Splunk uses to aggregate low-cardinality groups into a single group to simplify visualization. Here's how the options break down:

A) | chart count over CurrentStanding by Action useother=f This command correctly sets the useother parameter to false, which would prevent the 'OTHER' category from being displayed in the resulting visualization.

B) | chart count over CurrentStanding by Action usenull=f useother=t This command has useother set to true (t), which means the 'OTHER' category would still be included, so this is not a correct option.

C) | chart count over CurrentStanding by Action limit=10 useother=f Similar to option A, this command also sets useother to false, additionally imposing a limit to the top 10 results, which is a way to control the granularity of the chart but also to remove the 'OTHER' category.

D) | chart count over CurrentStanding by Action limit-10 This command has a syntax error (limit-10 should be limit=10) and does not include the useother=f clause. Therefore, it would not remove the 'OTHER' category, making it incorrect.

The correct answers to rewrite the syntax to remove the 'OTHER' category are options A and C, which explicitly set useother=f.

Definitely not A, that one doesn't group events.

I practiced a similar question where we had to group by session IDs, and I think "I transaction" in option D is what we need here.

I feel like option B could be a contender too, but I'm confused about the syntax with the angle brackets. Is that how we specify a value?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about using "table" in option A. Does that actually group events or just display them?

I think option D might be the right choice since it mentions "transaction" which usually groups events by a common identifier like JSESSIONID.

I'm leaning towards Option B. Searching for the specific JSESSIONID value within angle brackets seems like it would return all the relevant events.

Option D looks promising - the "transaction" command should group the events by JSESSIONID, right?

This looks like a pretty straightforward Splunk query question. I think the key is to identify the search that groups the events by the JSESSIONID value.

I remember learning that @DataJpaTest auto-configures a TestEntityManager, so D is definitely true. And if an embedded database is on the classpath, it will be used, so B is also correct.

Ah, I see what you mean. We should be grouping the events by the JSESSIONID value given in the question, not searching for a specific one. Clever!
