Question #: 97
Topic #: 9

[All SPLK-1002 Questions]

Which of the following searches can be used to define an event type?

Aindex=games sourcetype=score [search index=players | fields player_id]

Bindex=games sourcetype=score I where score>9999

Cindex=games sourcetype=score player=* score>9999

Dindex=games sourcetype=score I stats count by player

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

An event type in Splunk is defined by a search string that returns a specific set of events. The search string index=games sourcetype=score player=* score>9999 is valid because it filters events based on specific criteria directly within the main search command. This search will find all events in the games index with a sourcetype of score, where the player field exists, and the score is greater than 9999. This specificity and direct filtering make it suitable for defining an event type.

Wait, can you really use A like that? Sounds too good to be true!

D seems off to me because using stats might not directly define an event type, but I could be mistaken.

I practiced a similar question where we had to filter by player and score, so I feel like C could be a contender, but I’m not completely confident.

I'm not really sure about B; it mentions a score threshold, but I don't remember if that's how event types are typically defined.

I think option A might be correct since it uses a subsearch to filter player IDs, which seems relevant for defining an event type.

I'm leaning towards C as well. The other choices seem a bit too broad or missing important details. C seems to hit all the right criteria for defining the event type.

I think C is the best option here. The other choices seem to be missing key elements like the player field or the score condition. C looks like the most complete and straightforward way to define the event type.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if the subquery in A is necessary, or if B or D might also work. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C, since it includes the player field and the score condition, which seems like the most direct way to define an event type.
