Splunk Exam SPLK-4001 Topic 2 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-4001 exam

Question #: 24
Topic #: 2

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?

ACreate a temporary plot by dragging items A and B into the Analytics Explorer window.

BCreate a plot C using the formula (A-B) and add a scale:percent function to express the rate of change as a percentage.

CCreate a plot C using the formula (A/B-l) and add a scale: 100 function to express the rate of change as a percentage.

DCreate a temporary plot by clicking the Change% button in the upper-right corner of the plot showing lines A and B.

Show Suggested 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.

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?

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.

User 1: Option C sounds interesting. Dividing A by B and then subtracting 1 seems like a good way to calculate the rate of change.

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.
