Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

This is the appropriately formatted SPL search because it follows the SPL syntax rules12, such as:

Using the=operator to specify field-value pairs, such asindex=securityandsourcetype=linux.

Using theORoperator to combine multiple values for the same field, such as(invalid OR failed).

Using the|character to separate commands, such asstats count as 'Potential Issues'.

Using theaskeyword to rename fields, such ascount as 'Potential Issues'.

I'm not sure, but I think option D) index---security sourcetype=linux secure (invalid OR failed) | count as 'Potential Issues' might also be correct.

Haha, this question is a real brainteaser! I'm just glad I don't have to debug any of these SPL queries in real life. That's what the Splunk admins are for!

C) has some weird dashes in the index field, so that can't be right. D) is close, but it's missing the 'stats' keyword.

I'm going with B). The 'as' keyword is supposed to come after the stats command, right?

A) looks like the correct format to me. The pipe symbol, the stats command, and the 'as' keyword are all in the right places.
