Splunk SPLK-4001 Exam - Topic 2 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-4001 exam
Question #: 24
Topic #: 2
[All SPLK-4001 Questions]

A DevOps engineer wants to determine if the latency their application experiences is growing fester after a new software release a week ago. They have already created two plot lines, A and B, that represent the current latency and the latency a week ago, respectively. How can the engineer use these two plot lines to determine the rate of change in latency?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A. 64.

According to the web search results, the limit on the number of properties that an MTS can have is 64. A property is a key-value pair that you can assign to a dimension of an existing MTS to add more context to the metrics. For example, you can add the property use: QA to the host dimension of your metrics to indicate that the host is used for QA1

Properties are different from dimensions, which are key-value pairs that are sent along with the metrics at the time of ingest. Dimensions, along with the metric name, uniquely identify an MTS. The limit on the number of dimensions per MTS is 362

To learn more about how to use properties and dimensions in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to this documentation2.

Surprised there's no mention of time factor in these options!

I think D is too simplistic for this analysis.

Wait, isn't (A/B-1) also a valid way to express change?

Plot B seems like the best option for calculating the rate of change.

I’m leaning towards option D since it mentions a Change% button, but I’m not entirely confident if that’s the right approach for calculating the rate of change.

I feel like I saw a question similar to this where we had to create a new plot to visualize the changes, but I can't recall the exact steps.

I think option B sounds familiar because it mentions using a formula to express the change as a percentage, which we practiced in class.

I remember we discussed how to calculate the rate of change using plots, but I'm not sure if it's just A minus B or if we need to divide by B too.

I'm not sure about this one. The question seems a bit vague to me. I'm leaning towards option D, where we just click the Change% button on the existing plots A and B. But I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has a better idea.

Okay, I think I've got this. Option C looks like the best approach - create a plot C using the formula (A/B-1) and then scale it to 100 to get the rate of change as a percentage. That should give us the information we need.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Do we really need to create a new plot C? Can't we just use the existing plots A and B to calculate the rate of change somehow?

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I think option B is the way to go - creating a new plot C using the formula (A-B) and then adding a scale:percent function to show the rate of change as a percentage.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Maybe I'll just flip a coin and hope for the best. Or maybe I'll just go with the one that sounds the most complicated - that usually works out well, right?

Yeah, I would go with option B as well. It's important to make sure you're accurately calculating the rate of change in latency.

Ha, I can't help but chuckle at the idea of just clicking a 'Change%' button. That's the kind of magical thinking I wish would work in real life. But alas, option D is clearly not the way to go here.

Ooh, I like the sound of option C! Dividing A by B and then subtracting 1 to get the rate of change as a percentage. That's a bit more sophisticated, but I bet it gives you a clearer picture of what's going on.

Interesting point, Jaime. I can see how that approach might provide a different perspective on the rate of change in latency. It's definitely worth considering.

I think option B is the way to go. Subtracting the latency from a week ago from the current latency and expressing it as a percentage makes sense.
