Splunk Exam SPLK-1001 Topic 4 Question 105 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1001 exam
Question #: 105
Topic #: 4
[All SPLK-1001 Questions]

What is the result of the following search?

index=myindex source=c: \mydata. txt NOT error=*

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The search query index=myindex source=c: mydata. txt NOT error=* specifies three criteria for the events to be returned:

The index must be myindex, which is a user-defined index that contains the data from a specific source or sources.

The source must be c: mydata. txt, which is the name of the file or directory where the data came from.

The error field must not exist in the events, which is indicated by the NOT operator and the wildcard character (*).

The NOT operator negates the following expression, which means that it returns the events that do not match the expression. The wildcard character () matches any value, including an empty value or a null value. Therefore, the expression NOT error=means that the events must not have an error field at all, regardless of its value.

The search query does not use quotation marks around the source value, which means that it is case-sensitive and exact. If there are any variations in the source name, such as capitalization or spacing, they will not match the query.

Option D, no doubt. This is a classic Splunk query - I've seen it before.

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is D) Only data where the value of the field error does not equal an asterisk (*) will be displayed.

I'm leaning towards C. Anything without the error field should be shown, right?

Hmm, I see your point. But I still believe it's C because it specifically mentions data without the error field.

I think it's actually D. The asterisk (*) is used as a wildcard character in Splunk searches.

Option D looks like the correct answer. It will display only the data where the error field doesn't equal an asterisk.

Great, so we can use that search to exclude any data with an asterisk in the error field.

Yes, that's right. It filters out data where the error field has an asterisk.
