What are Splunk alerts based on?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Splunk alerts are based on searches that run on a schedule or in real time. You can use alerts to monitor for and respond to specific events or conditions in your dat

a. Alerts use a saved search to look for events in real time or on a schedule. Alerts trigger when search results meet specific conditions.You can use alert actions to respond when alerts trigger, such as sending an email, running a script, or creating a ticket1.

You can create alerts from the Search app, the Alerts page, or the Dashboards app.You can also use the Splunk Web framework to create custom alert actions using Python or JavaScript1.

Dashboards, webhooks, and reports are not the basis for Splunk alerts, although they can be related to them. Dashboards are collections of views that display data visually in a variety of ways.You can add alert panels to dashboards to show the status of your alerts2. Webhooks are a type of alert action that send HTTP POST requests to a specified URL when an alert triggers.You can use webhooks to integrate Splunk alerts with external systems or applications3. Reports are saved searches that include additional attributes such as a visualization type, permissions, and an optional description. You can create reports from search results and add them to dashboards as panels. You can also use reports as the basis for scheduled or real-time alerts.

I think reports can also be used to trigger Splunk alerts.

You know, I bet the developers at Splunk have a good sense of humor. They should have an option for 'Skynet' as the alert basis. Just to keep us on our toes.

I hope the answer isn't C. Webhooks are cool and all, but they're more for integrating Splunk with other systems, not for the actual alerts themselves.

B for sure. Splunk is all about analyzing data through searches, so it makes sense that alerts would be based on those searches.

Definitely B. Searches are the foundation for Splunk alerts. You set up a search, and then you can configure an alert to fire when the search matches certain conditions.
