Splunk Exam SPLK-1001 Topic 8 Question 96 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1001 exam
Question #: 96
Topic #: 8
[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.

Haha, this question is like a game of Wordle - you have to narrow down the options until you get the right one. I'm going with D.

I think D makes more sense, as it specifies the condition for displaying the data.

But wouldn't it make sense for the search to show data with errors, not without?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between B and D, but I think D is the better choice. The NOT operator is the key here.

I'm going with C. The question states that we're looking for data that does NOT contain the error field, so that's gotta be the right answer.

Option D seems the most accurate to me. The NOT operator excludes data where the error field contains any value, so only data without the error field or where the error field does not equal * will be displayed.
