Splunk SPLK-1002 Exam - Topic 7 Question 131 Discussion

Posted by Daniela on Aug 17, 2026 at 10:04 AM

By default, how is acceleration configured in the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) add-on?

Suggested Answer: D

By default, acceleration is determined automatically based on the data source in the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) add-on. The Splunk CIM Add-on is an app that provides common data models for various domains, such as network traffic, web activity, authentication, etc. The CIM Add-on allows you to normalize and enrich your data using predefined fields and tags. The CIM Add-on also allows you to accelerate your data models for faster searches and reports. Acceleration is a feature that pre-computes summary data for your data models and stores them in tsidx files. Acceleration can improve the performance and efficiency of your searches and reports that use data models.

By default, acceleration is determined automatically based on the data source in the CIM Add-on. This means that Splunk will decide whether to enable or disable acceleration for each data model based on some factors, such as data volume, data type, data model complexity, etc. However, you can also manually enable or disable acceleration for each data model by using the Settings menu or by editing the datamodels.conf file.

I remember reading that it’s usually turned off by default, but I can't recall if there's a specific reason for that.

I’m leaning towards option A, but I could be mixing it up with another topic. Acceleration settings can be tricky!

I feel like I saw a question similar to this in practice exams, and I think it was about it being determined automatically based on the sourcetype.

I think acceleration is turned off by default, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about needing to enable it for better performance.
