Splunk SPLK-4001 Exam - Topic 1 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-4001 exam
Question #: 45
Topic #: 1
[All SPLK-4001 Questions]

An SRE came across an existing detector that is a good starting point for a detector they want to create. They clone the detector, update the metric, and add multiple new signals. As a result of the cloned detector, which of the following is true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

According to the Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document1, cloning a detector creates a copy of the detector that you can modify without affecting the original detector. You can change the metric, filter, and signal settings of the cloned detector. However, the new signals that you add to the cloned detector will not be reflected in the original detector, nor in the original chart that the detector was based on. Therefore, option D is correct.

Option A is incorrect because the new signals will not be reflected in the original detector. Option B is incorrect because the new signals will not be reflected in the original chart. Option C is incorrect because you can monitor all of the new signals that you add to the cloned detector.

Just to clarify, the original stays unchanged, right?

I’m leaning towards D because it makes sense that the original detector stays unchanged after cloning.

I feel like the new signals should be independent, but I can't recall if they show up in the original chart or not.

I remember a practice question where cloning didn't change the original settings, so maybe D is correct?

I think the new signals won't affect the original detector since it's a clone, but I'm not entirely sure.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The wording suggests the new signals won't be reflected in the original detector, so I'm leaning towards option D.

I've got a strategy for this. I'll focus on understanding the relationship between the cloned detector and the original, and how that impacts the signals.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Does the cloning process mean the new signals will be added to the original detector, or will they be separate?

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key is understanding how the cloning process affects the original detector.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the implications of cloning the detector and adding new signals.

D) The new signals will not be added to the original detector. Wait, did someone just say 'detector physics'? I thought that was just a myth, like unicorns or the perfect work-life balance.

D) The new signals will not be added to the original detector. Ah, the sweet sound of logic. It's like music to my ears. Now, if only we could get the other candidates to stop trying to defy the laws of detector physics.

C) You can only monitor one of the new signals. Well, that's just plain ol' boring. Where's the fun in that? I was hoping for some kind of detector-cloning superpower that lets you monitor all the things at once. *sigh*

B) The new signals will be reflected in the original chart. Hmm, I don't think that's how it works. Unless the chart is some kind of sentient being that can just magically display new stuff without the detector knowing about it. That would be pretty neat, actually.

D) The new signals will not be added to the original detector. That's the whole point of cloning the detector, right? Can't have the new stuff interfere with the old one.
