Splunk Updated SPLK-1002 Exam Questions and Answers by deen

This is because event types are added to events as a field named eventtype, and you can use this field as a search term to find events that match a specific event type. For example, eventtype=successful_purchases returns all events that have been categorized as successful purchases by the event type definition. The other options are incorrect because they either use a different field name (tag), a different syntax (Event Type:: or event type—), or have a typo (success ful_purchases). You can learn more about how to use event types in searches from the Splunk documentation1.

In Splunk, calculated fields allow you to create new fields using expressions that can transform or combine the values of existing fields. Although all options provided might seem viable, when selecting only one option that is most representative of a calculated field, we typically refer to:

D. Extracted fields: Calculated fields are often based on fields that have already been extracted from your data. Extracted fields are those that Splunk has identified and pulled out from the event data based on patterns, delimiters, or other methods such as regular expressions or automatic extractions. These fields can then be used in expressions to create calculated fields.

For example, you might have an extracted field for the time in seconds, and you want to create a calculated field for the time in minutes. You would use the extracted field in a calculation to create the new field.

It's important to note that although fields generated within a search string (A) and regular expressions (C) can also be used in the calculation of a new field, and lookup tables (B) can be used to enrich data, option D is typically what one refers to when discussing calculated fields, as it implies a direct transformation or calculation based on fields that have been extracted from the raw data.

Define a GET workflow action

Steps

Navigate to Settings > Fields > Workflow Actions.

Click New to open up a new workflow action form.

Define a Label for the action.

The Label field enables you to define the text that is displayed in either the field or event workflow menu. Labels can be static or include the value of relevant fields.

Determine whether the workflow action applies to specific fields or event types in your data.

Use Apply only to the following fields to identify one or more fields. When you identify fields, the workflow action only appears for events that have those fields, either in their event menu or field menus. If you leave it blank or enter an asterisk the action appears in menus for all fields.

Use Apply only to the following event types to identify one or more event types. If you identify an event type, the workflow action only appears in the event menus for events that belong to the event type.

For Show action in determine whether you want the action to appear in the Event menu, the Fields menus, or Both.

Set Action type to link.

In URI provide a URI for the location of the external resource that you want to send your field values to.

Similar to the Label setting, when you declare the value of a field, you use the name of the field enclosed by dollar signs.

Variables passed in GET actions via URIs are automatically URL encoded during transmission. This means you can include values that have spaces between words or punctuation characters.

Under Open link in, determine whether the workflow action displays in the current window or if it opens the link in a new window.

Set the Link method to get.

Click Save to save your workflow action definition.
