Splunk SPLK-4001 Exam - Topic 2 Question 59 Discussion

Posted by Lilli on Jun 16, 2026 at 08:24 PM

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?

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.

I lean towards D too. New signals stay in the clone only.

Just to clarify, new signals only exist in the clone, right?

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought it might reflect changes.

Totally agree, the original detector won't have those new signals.

I thought that when you clone something, it creates a separate instance, so D seems likely, but I could be wrong.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the original chart might still show the old signals.

I remember a similar question where cloning didn't change the original, so I'm leaning towards D too.

I think the new signals won't affect the original detector, so maybe D is correct?
