QUESTION 46
Consider the scenario where the /var/log directory contains the files secure, messages, cron, audit. A customer has created the following inputs.conf stanzas in the same Splunk app in order to attempt to monitor the files secure and messages:

Which file(s) will actually be actively monitored?

QUESTION 47
The customer has an indexer cluster supporting a wide variety of search needs, including scheduled search, data model acceleration, and summary indexing.
Here is an excerpt from the cluster mater’s server.conf:

QUESTION 48

QUESTION 49

QUESTION 50
A new single-site three indexer cluster is being stood up with replication_factor:2, search_factor:2. At which step would the Indexer Cluster be classed as “˜Indexing Ready’ and be able to ingest new data?
Step 1: Install and configure Cluster Master (CM)/Master Node with base clustering stanza settings, restarting CM.
Step 2: Configure a base app in etc/master-apps on the CM to enable a splunktcp input on port
9997 and deploy index creation configurations.
Step 3: Install and configure Indexer 1 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, download the latest config bundle.
Step 4: Indexer 1 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
Step 5: Install and configure Indexer 2 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle Step 6: Indexer 2 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
Step 7: Install and configure Indexer 3 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle.
Step 8: Indexer 3 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.

QUESTION 55
A customer has a new set of hardware to replace their aging indexers. What method would reduce the amount of bucket replication operations during the migration process?

QUESTION 56
A customer has been using Splunk for one year, utilizing a single/all-in-one instance. This single Splunk server is now struggling to cope with the daily ingest rate. Also, Splunk has become a vital system in day-to-day operations making high availability a consideration for the Splunk service. The customer is unsure how to design the new environment topology in order to provide this.
Which resource would help the customer gather the requirements for their new architecture?
