Discuss Splunk SPLK-4001 Exam Topic 5 Question 33

When creating a standalone detector, individual rules in it are labeled according to severity. Which of the choices below represents the possible severity levels that can be selected?

AInfo, Warning, Minor, Major, and Emergency.

BDebug, Warning, Minor, Major, and Critical.

CInfo, Warning, Minor, Major, and Critical.

DInfo, Warning, Minor, Severe, and Critical.

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.

D could be a possibility, but I lean towards C.

Walker 11 months ago

Wait, are we sure about the "Minor" level? Seems weird.

Zena 11 months ago

I agree with C too, makes the most sense!

Lawrence 11 months ago

Definitely not A, that one seems off.

Refugia 11 months ago

I think it's C, sounds right.

Delmy 12 months ago

I believe "Emergency" is less common than "Critical," so I’m leaning towards option C with "Info, Warning, Minor, Major, and Critical."

Lindy 12 months ago

I’m a bit confused; I thought "Severe" was a standard term, but I can't recall if it’s used in this context.

Louvenia 12 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like "Critical" is a common term used in severity levels. Maybe it's in option C?

Cecilia 1 year ago

I think I remember that the severity levels usually include "Info" and "Warning," but I'm not sure about the others.

Ruth 1 year ago

This is a good question to test our knowledge of security concepts. I'm pretty confident that option C is the correct answer, as it aligns with the typical severity levels used in standalone detectors. I'll mark that one and move on.

Elli 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. The key is to understand the meaning of each severity level. Info, Warning, and Minor are pretty self-explanatory, but I'm not sure about the difference between Major and Critical. I'll have to double-check that before answering.

Joseph 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The choices seem pretty similar, but I'm not totally clear on the differences between the severity levels. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Stanford 1 year ago

This looks like a straightforward question about severity levels for a standalone detector. I think I'll go with option C - Info, Warning, Minor, Major, and Critical.

Eun 1 year ago

Hmm, 'Critical' and 'Emergency' sound a bit dramatic. How about 'Mildly Inconvenient', 'Moderately Annoying', and 'Please God, Make It Stop'?

Lon 1 year ago

Wait, we're supposed to choose severity levels? I just want a detector that goes 'BEEP BEEP BEEP' whenever something bad happens. That's all the severity I need!

Deja 1 year ago

A is the obvious choice. 'Emergency' is the perfect level for when your detector finds something that's about to blow up the entire system!

I prefer 'Warning' for issues that are not critical but still important to address.

Loren 1 year ago

↳ replying to Deja

I would go with 'Info' for less severe issues that still need attention.

Ma 1 year ago

↳ replying to Deja

I think 'Critical' is also a good option for high severity issues.

Kimi 1 year ago

↳ replying to Deja

I agree, 'Emergency' is definitely the most severe level for a detector.

Rhea 1 year ago

↳ replying to Deja

Yeah, 'Emergency' and 'Critical' are both important levels to have in a detector.

Noemi 1 year ago

↳ replying to Deja

I think 'Critical' is also a good choice for a severe level.

Catarina 1 year ago

↳ replying to Deja

I agree, 'Emergency' is definitely the most severe level for a detector.

Marion 1 year ago

B is the way to go. 'Debug' is a useful level for developers to monitor their code. Who needs 'Info' anyway?

Elin 1 year ago

D looks good to me. 'Severe' is a more intuitive term than 'Major', in my opinion.

Carin 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elin

Yes, I also think D is the best choice. 'Severe' stands out more than 'Major'.

Mendy 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elin

I agree, 'Severe' seems like a more intuitive term for a standalone detector.

Eun 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elin

I think D is the correct answer. 'Severe' makes more sense than 'Major'.

Margarita 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe we should review the study material again.

Krissy 1 year ago

I think the correct answer is C. It's the most comprehensive set of severity levels that I've seen used in standalone detectors.

Demetra 1 year ago

↳ replying to Krissy

I think C is the best choice too, it includes all the important severity levels for accurate detection.

Marta 1 year ago

↳ replying to Krissy

I agree, C seems to cover all the necessary severity levels for a standalone detector.

Joana 1 year ago

I disagree, I believe it's Debug, Warning, Minor, Major, and Critical.

Margarita 2 years ago

I think the possible severity levels are Info, Warning, Minor, Major, and Emergency.
