Splunk SPLK-1003 Exam - Topic 10 Question 101 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1003 exam

Question #: 101
Topic #: 10

A security team needs to ingest a static file for a specific incident. The log file has not been collected previously and future updates to the file must not be indexed.

Which command would meet these needs?

Asplunk add one shot / opt/ incident [data .log ---index incident

Bsplunk edit monitor /opt/incident/data.* ---index incident

Csplunk add monitor /opt/incident/data.log ---index incident

Dsplunk edit oneshot [opt/ incident/data.* ---index incident

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A. splunk add one shot / opt/ incident [data . log ---index incident

According to the Splunk documentation1, the splunk add one shot command adds a single file or directory to the Splunk index and then stops monitoring it. This is useful for ingesting static files that do not change or update. The command takes the following syntax:

splunk add one shot <file> -index <index_name>

The file parameter specifies the path to the file or directory to be indexed. The index parameter specifies the name of the index where the data will be stored. If the index does not exist, Splunk will create it automatically.

Option B is incorrect because the splunk edit monitor command modifies an existing monitor input, which is used for ingesting files or directories that change or update over time. This command does not create a new monitor input, nor does it stop monitoring after indexing.

Option C is incorrect because the splunk add monitor command creates a new monitor input, which is also used for ingesting files or directories that change or update over time. This command does not stop monitoring after indexing.

Option D is incorrect because the splunk edit oneshot command does not exist. There is no such command in the Splunk CLI.

I agree with A, but why not just use the latest version of Splunk?

Wait, can you really use "edit" in that context? Seems off.

I think C is better since it monitors the file.

Option A is the right command for a one-time ingestion.

I think `edit oneshot` might be a typo in the options. I need to double-check what `edit` does in this context.

I feel like I saw a similar question where we had to specify the index correctly. I hope I remember the right command for this one.

I think the `add monitor` command is for continuous monitoring, which doesn't fit since we only want to ingest this file once.

I remember practicing with the `oneshot` command for static files, but I'm not sure if it's the right syntax here.

I think option C is the way to go. The "add monitor" command will ingest the static file without indexing any future updates, which is exactly what the question is asking for. Seems like a straightforward Splunk administration question to me.

I'm a little confused by the different options here. The wording of the question is a bit tricky, and I'm not entirely sure which command would be the most appropriate. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Okay, I've got this. The key is that the file hasn't been collected before and future updates shouldn't be indexed. So the "add one shot" command in option A seems like the best fit to meet those requirements.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions that the file hasn't been collected previously, so I'm not sure if "edit monitor" would be the right approach. Let me re-read the question carefully and think this through.

This looks like a straightforward Splunk command question. I think option C is the correct answer, as it uses the "add monitor" command to ingest the static log file without indexing future updates.

I'm not sure, but I think option B could also work because it mentions monitoring the file.

Haha, I bet the person who came up with option D was having a bit too much fun with the question. But C looks like the clear winner here.

I think the correct answer is option C. It clearly states that the log file has not been collected previously, so 'add monitor' would be the appropriate command to ingest the static file.
