Discuss Splunk SPLK-4001 Exam Topic 3 Question 36

Which of the following rollups will display the time delta between a datapoint being sent and a datapoint being received?

AJitter

BDelay

CLag

DLatency

Suggested Answer: A, C

The possible ways to add a link to an existing dashboard from an alert are:

Build a global data link. A global data link is a feature that allows you to create a link from any dimension value in any chart or table to a dashboard of your choice. You can specify the source and target dashboards, the dimension name and value, and the query parameters to pass along. When you click on the dimension value in the alert message, you will be taken to the dashboard with the context preserved1

Add a link to the field. A field link is a feature that allows you to create a link from any field value in any search result or alert message to a dashboard of your choice. You can specify the field name and value, the dashboard name and ID, and the query parameters to pass along. When you click on the field value in the alert message, you will be taken to the dashboard with the context preserved2

Therefore, the correct answer is A and C.

To learn more about how to use global data links and field links in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to these documentations12.

I agree, Latency is the correct term here.

Jitter is related but not the same.

Sherita 11 months ago

Wait, so Lag isn't the right answer? That surprises me!

Dannette 11 months ago

I thought it was Delay? Seems like a common mix-up.

Nina 11 months ago

Definitely Latency! That's what it measures.

Elfriede 12 months ago

I’m leaning towards Latency too, but I wonder if Delay could also fit the definition in some contexts.

Blair 12 months ago

Lag sounds familiar, but I feel like it might refer more to performance issues rather than the time delta specifically.

Mireya 12 months ago

I remember practicing a question about Jitter and Delay, but I can't recall if they relate to time differences like this one.

Amie 1 year ago

I think it might be Latency, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the same as Delay.

The key here is that the question is asking about the "time delta" between sending and receiving data. Based on that, I think the best answer is Latency. It directly measures the time delay.

Harrison 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know latency is related to network performance, but I'm not sure if that's the exact term they're looking for here. Delay or lag could also work.

Sunshine 1 year ago

Latency makes the most sense to me. That's the standard metric for measuring the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another.

Maryanne 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Jitter, delay, and lag all seem like they could be related to the time delta between sending and receiving data. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Sol 1 year ago

I think the answer is Latency, since that's the term that's usually used to describe the time delay between sending and receiving data.

Evangelina 1 year ago

D. Latency is the way to go, folks. If you don't know the answer, just pick the longest word - that's usually the right choice!

Nada 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure. Jitter, Delay, and Lag all sound like they could be related to the time delta between sending and receiving a datapoint. I'll have to think this one through carefully.

A) Jitter

Lajuana 1 year ago

I think Latency is the correct answer here. It measures the time taken for a datapoint to travel from the sender to the receiver.

Chaya 1 year ago

Jitter could also be a factor in measuring the time delta between sending and receiving data.

Malissa 1 year ago

I think Delay might also be a possible answer, as it could indicate the time difference between sending and receiving data.

Delpha 1 year ago

I agree, Latency is the correct answer. It measures the time taken for data to travel.

Chantay 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think A) Jitter could also be a possibility.

Erick 2 years ago

I agree with Carlene, Latency makes sense for measuring time delta.

Carlene 2 years ago

I think the answer is D) Latency.
