Discuss Splunk SPLK-4001 Exam Topic 6 Question 30

Which of the following statements about adding properties to MTS are true? (select all that apply)

AProperties can be set via the API.

BProperties are sent in with datapoints.

CProperties are applied to dimension key:value pairs and propagated to all MTS with that dimension

DProperties can be set in the UI under Metric Metadata.

Suggested Answer: A, D

According to the web search results, properties are key-value pairs that you can assign to dimensions of existing metric time series (MTS) in Splunk Observability Cloud1. Properties provide additional context and information about the metrics, such as the environment, role, or owner of the dimension. For example, you can add the property use: QA to the host dimension of your metrics to indicate that the host that is sending the data is used for QA.

To add properties to MTS, you can use either the API or the UI.The API allows you to programmatically create, update, delete, and list properties for dimensions using HTTP requests2.The UI allows you to interactively create, edit, and delete properties for dimensions using the Metric Metadata page under Settings3. Therefore, option A and D are correct.

I’m pretty confident that properties can be set in the UI under Metric Metadata, but I’m not sure about the propagation part.

I'm a bit confused about how properties relate to dimension key:value pairs. I feel like I need to review that concept again.

Louvenia 12 months ago

I remember a practice question that mentioned properties being sent with datapoints, so I might go with option B.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know properties are important, but I'm not sure how they work exactly. I'll just try to eliminate the options that seem clearly wrong and go from there.

Okay, I remember learning about properties being applied to dimension key-value pairs and propagated to all MTS with that dimension. I'll select C for sure.

Latia 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between properties and datapoints. I think B might be true, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm sorry, but I just can't focus on this question. I'm too busy trying to figure out how many properties it takes to screw in a lightbulb.
