NEW QUESTION # 60
An admin oversees an environment with a 1000 GBI day license. The configuration file server.conf has strict pool quota=false set. The license is divided into the following three pools, and today's usage is shown on the right-hand column:
Pool License Size Today's usage
X 500 GB/day 100 GB
Y 350 GB/day 400 GB
Z 150 GB/day 300 GB
Given this, which pool(s) are issued warnings?
- A. None
- B. Y and Z
- C. Z only
- D. All pools
Answer: B
Explanation:
In Splunk Enterprise, when you configure the server.conf file with strict pool quota=false, it means that license pools are allowed to share the total available license quota rather than being restricted to their individually allocated quotas. However, this does not prevent pools from issuing warnings if they exceed their allocated limits.
Given the environment with a 1000 GB/day license split into three pools:
Pool X: 500 GB/day license, 100 GB used
Pool Y: 350 GB/day license, 400 GB used
Pool Z: 150 GB/day license, 300 GB used
Let's analyze the usage:
Pool X is allocated 500 GB/day but has only used 100 GB, well within its limit.
Pool Y is allocated 350 GB/day but has used 400 GB, which exceeds its limit by 50 GB.
Pool Z is allocated 150 GB/day but has used 300 GB, which exceeds its limit by 150 GB.
Even with strict pool quota=false, pools Y and Z have exceeded their individual allocated quotas and will issue warnings. Pool X has not exceeded its quota and thus will not issue any warnings. Therefore, the pools that are issued warnings are Y and Z.
NEW QUESTION # 61
What are the required stanza attributes when configuring the transforms. conf to manipulate or remove events?
- A. REGEX, DEST_KEY FORMATTING

Answer: D
Explanation:
REGEX = <regular expression>
* Enter a regular expression to operate on your data.
FORMAT = <string>

NEW QUESTION # 69
A non-clustered Splunk environment has three indexers (A,B,C) and two search heads (X, Y). During a search executed on search head X, indexer A crashes. What is Splunk's response?
- A. Update the user in Splunk web that their results may be incomple and that Splunk will try to re-execute the search.
- B. Inform the user in Splunk web that their results may be incomplete and have them attempt the search from search head Y.
- C. Repeat the search request on indexer B without informing the user.
- D. Update the user in Splunk web informing them that the results of their search may be incomplete.
Answer: D
Explanation:
This is explained in the Splunk documentation1, which states:
If an indexer goes down during a search, the search head notifies you that the results might be incomplete. The search head does not attempt to re-run the search on another indexer.

NEW QUESTION # 72
Which Splunk component would one use to perform line breaking prior to indexing?
- A. Search head
- B. This can only be done at the indexing layer.
- C. Heavy Forwarder
- D. Universal Forwarder
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Splunk documentation1, a heavy forwarder is a Splunk Enterprise instance that can parse and filter data before forwarding it to an indexer. A heavy forwarder can perform line breaking, which is the process of splitting incoming data into individual events based on a set of rules2. A heavy forwarder can also apply other transformations to the data, such as field extractions, event type matching, or masking sensitive data3.
NEW QUESTION # 73
What is the correct example to redact a plain-text password from raw events?
- A. in transforms.conf:
[identity]
REGEX-redact_pw = s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g - B. in props.conf:
[identity]
REGEX-redact_pw = s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g - C. in transforms.conf:
[identity]
SEDCMD-redact_pw = s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g - D. in props.conf:
[identity]
SEDCMD-redact_pw = s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. in props.conf:
[identity]
SEDCMD-redact_pw = s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g
According to the Splunk documentation1, to redact sensitive data from raw events, you need to use the SEDCMD attribute in the props.conf file. The SEDCMD attribute applies a sed expression to the raw data before indexing. The sed expression can use the s command to replace a pattern with a substitution string. For example, the following sed expression replaces any occurrence of password= followed by any characters until a comma, whitespace, or slash with ####REACTED####:
s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g
The g flag at the end means that the replacement is applied globally, not just to the first match.
Option A is incorrect because it uses the REGEX attribute instead of the SEDCMD attribute. The REGEX attribute is used to extract fields from events, not to modify them.
Option C is incorrect because it uses the transforms.conf file instead of the props.conf file. The transforms.conf file is used to define transformations that can be applied to fields or events, such as lookups, evaluations, or replacements. However, these transformations are applied after indexing, not before.
Option D is incorrect because it uses both the wrong attribute and the wrong file. There is no REGEX-redact_pw attribute in the transforms.conf file.

REGEX = (?ms)^(.)\<[SSN>\d{3}-?\d{2}-?(\d{4}.*)$"
FORMAT = $1<SSN>###-##-$2
DEST_KEY = _raw
transforms.conf - B. [mask-SSN]
REX = (?ms)^(.)\<[SSN>\d{3}-?\d{2}-?(\d{4}.*)$"
FORMAT = $1<SSN>###-##-$2
KEY = _raw
props.conf - C. [mask-SSN]

REGEX = (?ms)^(.)\<[SSN>\d{3}-?\d{2}-?(\d{4}.*)$"
FORMAT = $1<SSN>###-##-$2
DEST_KEY = _raw
Answer: A
