Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1005 exam

Question #: 19
Topic #: 11

What Splunk command will allow an administrator to view the runtime configuration instructions for a monitored file in Inputs. cont on the forwarders?

A./splunk _internal call /services/data/input.3/filemonitor

B./splunk show config inputs.conf

C./splunk _internal rest /services/data/inputs/monitor

D./splunk show config inputs

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To view the runtime configuration instructions for a monitored file in inputs.conf on the forwarder, the correct command to use involves accessing the internal REST API that provides details on data inputs.

C . ./splunk _internal rest /services/data/inputs/monitor is the correct answer. This command uses Splunk's internal REST endpoint to retrieve information about monitored files, including their runtime configurations as defined in inputs.conf.

B is a good option too, but not for this specific case.

Wait, is it really C? I thought inputs.conf would be involved somehow.

I thought it was A at first, but C makes more sense.

I think the answer is C. That's the right command for monitored files.

I’m really unsure, but I think option B might show the config, though it doesn’t seem specific to runtime instructions.

I feel like I saw a similar question about monitoring inputs, and I think it was about using the internal call. Could be A?

I remember practicing with inputs.conf, but I'm not sure if that's the right command for this question.

I think the command to view runtime configurations is related to the REST API, so maybe it's option C?

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking for a specific command to view the configuration for a file monitor, or just the general command to view the Inputs.conf file? I'll need to re-read it carefully.

Okay, I've got this. The command to view the runtime configuration for a monitored file in Inputs.conf on the forwarders is ./splunk show config inputs.conf. That should do the trick.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a few different Splunk commands related to configuration, so I'll need to think carefully about which one is most relevant here.

This looks like a straightforward Splunk configuration question. I think the key is to focus on the specific command that would allow an admin to view the runtime configuration for a monitored file.

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher! I'm going to guess D. The 'show config inputs' command just sounds more intuitive to me, even if it's not the technically correct answer.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I think the correct answer might be C. The '_internal rest' command is used to access the Splunk REST API, and the '/services/data/inputs/monitor' endpoint seems like it would provide the runtime configuration for monitored files.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. The 'show config' command is used to view the configuration of various components in Splunk, and 'inputs.conf' is the file that contains the configuration for monitored files.
