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'm not entirely sure, but I think it might be D) Reports, since alerts are often generated based on data analysis found in reports.

I believe it could also be C) Webhooks, as alerts can be sent to external systems.

You know, I'm surprised 'Dashboards' is even an option here. Dashboards are for visualizing data, not setting up automated alerts. That's just silly.

I agree with Lenna. Splunk alerts are really all about defining the right search queries to monitor for specific conditions or events. That's the core functionality behind them.

Haha, good point, Rima! Though I think the main use case for Splunk alerts is to trigger off of custom searches. Reports are more for presenting data, not necessarily for proactive alerting.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. What about reports? Don't Splunk alerts sometimes get generated from pre-built reports as well?

Absolutely, Nichelle's got it! Splunk alerts are based on the results of custom searches you define. You can set up an alert to fire whenever a certain pattern or event is detected in your Splunk data.

Ooh, this is a tricky one! I remember struggling with this concept during my Splunk training. Let's see, I think the answer has to be B) Searches. Splunk alerts are triggered by specific search queries, right?
