Splunk SPLK-2002 Exam - Topic 2 Question 114 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-2002 exam
Question #: 114
Topic #: 2
[All SPLK-2002 Questions]

New data has been added to a monitor input file. However, searches only show older data.

Which splunkd. log channel would help troubleshoot this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The TailingProcessor channel in the splunkd.log file would help troubleshoot this issue, because it contains information about the files that Splunk monitors and indexes, such as the file path, size, modification time, and CRC checksum. It also logs any errors or warnings that occur during the file monitoring process, such as permission issues, file rotation, or file truncation. The TailingProcessor channel can help identify if Splunk is reading the new data from the monitor input file or not, and what might be causing the problem. Option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the ModularInputs channel logs information about the modular inputs that Splunk uses to collect data from external sources, such as scripts, APIs, or custom applications. It does not log information about the monitor input file. Option C is incorrect because the ChunkedLBProcessor channel logs information about the load balancing process that Splunk uses to distribute data among multiple indexers. It does not log information about the monitor input file. Option D is incorrect because the ArchiveProcessor channel logs information about the archive process that Splunk uses to move data from the hot/warm buckets to the cold/frozen buckets.It does not log information about the monitor input file12

Hmm, I thought ChunkedLBProcessor would be involved too.

Definitely check the TailingProcessor log.

I’m not confident, but I think ChunkedLBProcessor has to do with load balancing, which doesn’t seem relevant to this problem. I’d lean towards TailingProcessor as well.

I vaguely recall that the ArchiveProcessor deals with older data, so it probably isn't the right choice here. Maybe TailingProcessor is the best option?

I feel like we covered something similar in practice, and I want to say that ModularInputs might be the one to check, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I think I remember something about the TailingProcessor being related to how new data is read, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right log channel for this issue.

I'm pretty confident that the ArchiveProcessor log channel would be the best place to start troubleshooting this problem. That's where I'd expect to see any issues with new data not being processed correctly.

Okay, I think the key here is that the new data is not showing up in the searches. That suggests an issue with the data ingestion process, so I'd start by looking at the ModularInputs log channel.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the question. I'm not sure which log channel would be the best one to look at here. I'll have to review the details again.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different log channels and which one would be most helpful for troubleshooting this issue.

I think C) ChunkedLBProcessor could also be a potential solution, as it deals with data chunking and load balancing.

But Modularlnputs is responsible for handling new data inputs, so it makes sense in this scenario.

Splunkd.log, huh? More like Splunkd.log-off, amirite? But seriously, I'm going with B, TailingProcessor.

ChunkedLBProcessor? More like ChunkedLBrainProcesser, am I right? I'm going with B, TailingProcessor.
