[All SPLK-2002 Questions]

A Splunk user successfully extracted an ip address into a field called src_ip. Their colleague cannot see that field in their search results with events known to have src_ip. Which of the following may explain the problem? (Select all that apply.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

The following may explain the problem of why a colleague cannot see the src_ip field in their search results: The field was extracted as a private knowledge object, and the colleague did not explicitly use the field in the search and the search was set to Fast Mode. A knowledge object is a Splunk entity that applies some knowledge or intelligence to the data, such as a field extraction, a lookup, or a macro. A knowledge object can have different permissions, such as private, app, or global. A private knowledge object is only visible to the user who created it, and it cannot be shared with other users. A field extraction is a type of knowledge object that extracts fields from the raw data at index time or search time. If a field extraction is created as a private knowledge object, then only the user who created it can see the extracted field in their search results. A search mode is a setting that determines how Splunk processes and displays the search results, such as Fast, Smart, or Verbose. Fast mode is the fastest and most efficient search mode, but it also limits the number of fields and events that are displayed. Fast mode only shows the default fields, such as _time, host, source, sourcetype, and _raw, and any fields that are explicitly used in the search. If a field is not used in the search and it is not a default field, then it will not be shown in Fast mode. The events are tagged as communicate, but are missing the network tag, and the Typing Queue, which does regular expression replacements, is blocked, are not valid explanations for the problem. Tags are labels that can be applied to fields or field values to make them easier to search. Tags do not affect the visibility of fields, unless they are used as filters in the search. The Typing Queue is a component of the Splunk data pipeline that performs regular expression replacements on the data, such as replacing IP addresses with host names.The Typing Queue does not affect the field extraction process, unless it is configured to do so

Haha, I bet the Typing Queue is just a red herring. Classic Splunk trick question! Gotta go with D on this one.

This is a tricky one, but I think B and D are the culprits. The missing network tag and not using the field directly are probably the reasons the colleague can't see it.

I think B is the reason, missing network tag.

I'd go with A and D. The field could be a private knowledge object, and not using it explicitly in the search would definitely hide it.

D is definitely the issue here. If the colleague didn't explicitly use the field, it won't show up in the search results, even if it's there. Fast Mode makes that even more likely.

I agree with Kayleigh. It could also be that the events are missing the network tag.

I think the colleague should check if the field was extracted as a private knowledge object.
