Splunk Updated SPLK-1002 Exam Questions and Answers by indigo

An event type in Splunk is essentially a saved search with specific conditions. It must meet the following criteria:

The search cannot include transforming commands like stats, inputlookup, or where.

It should define a clear pattern of events to match.

Explanation of each option:

A: Includes stats count by code, which is a transforming command. This cannot be saved as an event type.

B: Contains only search criteria (index, sourcetype, and code). This can be saved as an event type.

C: Includes stats and a conditional filter (where), which are not valid for event types.

D: Includes inputlookup, a transforming command, so it cannot be saved as an event type.

In this search, count will appear on the y-axis2. This search uses the chart command to create a chart of the count of events over host for events that have status not equal to 2002. The chart command creates a table with one column for each value of the field after the over clause and one row for each value of the field after the by clause (if any)2. The values in the table are calculated by applying the function before the over clause to the events in each group2. In this case, the chart command creates a table with one column for each host and one row for the count of events for each host. The y-axis of the chart shows the values of the count function applied to each host. Therefore, option C is correct, while options A and B are incorrect because they appear on the x-axis or as labels of the chart.

In this case, the outer join is applied, which means that all rows from the outer (left) table will be included, even if there are no matching rows in the inner (right) table. The result will include all five rows from the outer table, with the matched data from the inner table where employeeNumber matches. Rows without matching employeeNumber values will have null values for the fields from the inner table.
