Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1002 exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 9
[All SPLK-1002 Questions]

When performing a regex field extraction with the Field Extractor (FX), a data type must be chosen before a sample event can be selected. Which of the following data types are supported?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

No way, sourcetype and source can't be right!

I’m a bit confused. I thought it was either index or source, but now I’m second-guessing myself after reviewing the materials.

I feel like sourcetype is definitely one of the options, but I'm not sure about the other one. Maybe source?

I think we practiced a similar question about data types in our last session. Was it index and sourcetype that were mentioned?

I remember we discussed how the Field Extractor requires specific data types, but I can't quite recall which ones are valid.

I'm confident the answer is D - sourcetype or source. The Field Extractor is all about extracting fields from your data, and those data types seem like the most relevant ones to choose from.

Okay, let me see. The question is asking about the data types supported when performing a regex field extraction with the Field Extractor. I believe the correct answer is B - sourcetype or host.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know the Field Extractor is used for regex field extraction, but I can't quite remember all the supported data types. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C - index or sourcetype. That seems like the most logical combination of data types that would be supported for the Field Extractor.

This seems straightforward. The three components are compute, storage, and network. I'm feeling good about this one.

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on my understanding, the "repository.properties" file is where the key repository-level properties are defined, so that would be the single source of truth during monitoring. I'll go with option C.
