[All SPLK-4001 Questions]

To refine a search for a metric a customer types host: test-*. What does this filter return?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A. Only metrics with a dimension of host and a value beginning with test-.

This filter returns the metrics that have a host dimension that matches the pattern test-. For example, test-01, test-abc, test-xyz, etc. The asterisk () is a wildcard character that can match any string of characters1

I feel like D is definitely wrong because it doesn't match the format of the query. A seems the most logical, but I wish I had more confidence in my answer.

I'm a bit confused. I thought it might be C since it mentions excluding something, but that doesn't seem to fit the filter syntax.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about filtering metrics based on dimensions. A sounds right, but I could be mixing it up.

I think the filter is looking for metrics with a dimension of host that starts with "test-", so maybe it's A? But I'm not completely sure.

This is a tricky one, but I'm pretty confident I know the answer. The filter "host: test-*" is looking for metrics where the host dimension starts with "test-", so option A is the right choice.

Ah, I think I've got it! The filter "host: test-*" should return only the metrics with a host dimension that starts with "test-". So option A is the correct answer.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Does "host: test-*" mean it's looking for metrics with a host dimension that starts with "test-"? Or is it something else? I'll have to think this through step-by-step.

Okay, the question is asking about the "host: test-*" filter, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the host dimension. Let me read through the options and see which one makes the most sense.
