Question 1
Question Type: MultipleChoice

What does the fillnull command replace null values with, if the value argument is not specified?

Options:
A- 0
B- N/A
C- NaN
D- NULL

Answer:
A

Explanation:
The fillnull command replaces null values with 0 by default, if the value argument is not specified.
You can use the value argument to specify a different value to replace null values with, such as
N/A or NULL.

Question 2
Question Type: MultipleChoice

Consider the following search:

index=web sourcetype=access_combined

The log shows several events that share the same JSESSIONID value (SD470K92802F117). View
the events as a group.

From the following list, which search groups events by JSESSIONID?

Options:
A- index=web sourcetype=access_combined | highlight JSESSIONID | search SD470K92802F117
B- index=web sourcetype=access_combined | transaction JSESSIONID | search
 certsinside SPLK-1002 QUESTIONS BY Holmes 06-06-2022 7QA - Page 3

SD470K92802F117
C- index=web sourcetype=access_combined SD470K92802F117 | table JSESSIONID
D- index=web sourcetype=access_combined JSESSIONID <SD470K92802F117>

Answer:
B

Explanation:
To group events by JSESSIONID, the correct search is index=web sourcetype=access_combined |
transaction JSESSIONID | search SD470K92802F117 (Option B). The transaction command groups
events that share the same JSESSIONID value, allowing for the analysis of all events associated
with a specific session as a single transaction. The subsequent search for SD470K92802F117
filters these grouped transactions to include only those related to the specified session ID.

Question 3
Question Type: MultipleChoice

What is the correct syntax to find events associated with a tag?

Options:
A- tag:<field>=<value>
B- tags=<value>
C- tags:<field>=<value>
D- tag=<value>

Answer:
D

Explanation:
The correct syntax to find events associated with a tag in Splunk is tag=<value>1. So, the
correct answer is D) tag=<value>. This syntax allows you to annotate specified fields in your
search results with tags1.

In Splunk, tags are a type of knowledge object that you can use to add meaningful aliases to field
 certsinside SPLK-1002 QUESTIONS BY Holmes 06-06-2022 7QA - Page 4

values in your data1. For example, if you have a field called status_code in your data, you might
have different status codes like 200, 404, 500, etc. You can create tags for these status codes
like success for 200, not_found for 404, and server_error for 500. Then, you can use the tag
command in your searches to find events associated with these tags1.

Here is an example of how you can use the tag command in a search:

index=main sourcetype=access_combined | tag status_code

In this search, the tag command annotates the status_code field in the search results with the
corresponding tags. If you have tagged the status code 200 with success, the status code 404
with not_found, and the status code 500 with server_error, the search results will include these
tags1.

You can also use the tag command with a specific tag value to find events associated with that
tag. For example, the following search finds all events where the status code is tagged with
success:

index=main sourcetype=access_combined | tag status_code | search tag::status_code=success

In this search, the tag command annotates the status_code field with the corresponding tags, and
the search command filters the results to include only events where the status_code field is
tagged with success1.

Question 4
Question Type: MultipleChoice

When using the transaction command, how are evicted transactions identified?

Options:
A- Closed_txn field is set to o, or false.
B- Max_txn field is set to O, or false.
C- Txn_field is set to 1, or true.
D- open_txn field is set to 1, or true.

Answer:
A

Explanation:
 certsinside SPLK-1002 QUESTIONS BY Holmes 06-06-2022 7QA - Page 5

Thetransactioncommand is a Splunk command that finds transactions based on events that meet
various constraints1.

Transactions are made up of the raw text (the _raw field) of each member, the time and date
fields of the earliest member, as well as the union of all other fields of each member1.

Thetransactioncommand adds some fields to the raw events that are part of the transaction12.
These fields are:

duration: The difference, in seconds, between the timestamps for the first and last events in the
transaction12.

eventcount: The number of events in the transaction12.

closed_txn: A Boolean field that indicates whether the transaction is closed or evicted2.A
transaction is closed if it meets one of the following conditions:maxevents,maxpause,maxspan,
orstartswith2.A transaction is evicted if it does not meet any of these conditions and exceeds the
memory limit specified bymaxopentxnormaxopenevents23.

Therefore, evicted transactions can be distinguished from non-evicted transactions by checking

the value of theclosed_txnfield.Theclosed_txnfield is set to0, or false, for evicted transactions
and1, or true for non-evicted, or closed, transactions23.

Question 5
Question Type: MultipleChoice

The timechart command is an example of which of the following command types?

Options:
A- Orchestrating
B- Transforming
C- Statistical
D- Generating

Answer:
B

Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Transforming.
 certsinside SPLK-1002 QUESTIONS BY Holmes 06-06-2022 7QA - Page 6

The explanation is as follows:

The timechart command is a Splunk command that creates a time series chart with
corresponding table of statistics12.

A timechart is a statistical aggregation applied to a field to produce a chart, with time used as the
X-axis1. You can specify a split-by field, where each distinct value of the split-by field becomes a
series in the chart1.

Transforming commands are commands that change the format of the search results into a data
structure that can be easily visualized3. Transforming commands often use stats functions to
aggregate and summarize data3.

Therefore, the timechart command is an example of a transforming command, as it transforms

the search results into a chart and a table using stats functions123.

Question 6
Question Type: MultipleChoice

A Splunk app is configured to extract domain names in web service logs and specify them as a
field named domain.

What workflow action would return an external IP lookup for the field named domain?

Options:
A- POST
B- PUT
C- GET
D- Search

Answer:
C

Explanation:
In Splunk, a workflow action that returns an external IP lookup for a field named domain would
typically use the GET method. This HTTP method is used to retrieve data from a specified
resource, which is appropriate for looking up information based on the domain field.

Question 7
Question Type: MultipleChoice

Using the Field Extractor (FX) tool, a value is highlighted to extract and give a name to a new
field. Splunk has not successfully extracted that value from all appropriate events. What steps
can be taken so Splunk successfully extracts the value from all appropriate events? (select all
that apply)

Options:
A- Select an additional sample event with the Field Extractor (FX) and highlight the missing value
in the event.
B- Re-ingest the data and attempt to extract from a new dataset.
C- Click on the event where the field was not extracted and choose ''Change to Delimited'.
D- Edit the regular expression manually.

Answer:
A, D

Explanation:
When using the Field Extractor (FX) tool in Splunk and the tool fails to extract a value from all
appropriate events, there are specific steps you can take to improve the extraction process.
These steps involve interacting with the FX tool and possibly adjusting the extraction method:

A . Select an additional sample event with the Field Extractor (FX) and highlight the missing value
in the event. This approach allows Splunk to understand the pattern better by providing more
examples. By highlighting the value in another event where it wasn't extracted, you help the FX
tool to learn the variability in the data format or structure, improving the accuracy of the field
extraction.

D . Edit the regular expression manually. Sometimes the FX tool might not generate the most
accurate regular expression for the field extraction, especially when dealing with complex log
formats or subtle nuances in the data. In such cases, manually editing the regular expression can
significantly improve the extraction process. This involves understanding regular expression
syntax and how Splunk extracts fields, allowing for a more tailored approach to field extraction
that accounts for variations in the data that the automatic process might miss.
 certsinside SPLK-1002 QUESTIONS BY Holmes 06-06-2022 7QA - Page 8

Options B and C are not typically related to improving field extraction within the Field Extractor
tool. Re-ingesting data (B) does not directly impact the extraction process, and changing to a
delimited extraction method (C) is not always applicable, as it depends on the specific data
format and might not resolve the issue of missing values across events.
