Splunk Exam SPLK-3002 Topic 12 Question 81 Discussion

By default, impacting service health scores have an importance value of 11.

A service template is a predefined set of KPIs and entity rules that you can apply to a service or a group of services. A service template helps you standardize the configuration and monitoring of similar services across your IT environment. A service template can also include dependent services, which are services that are required for another service to function properly. For example, a web server service might depend on a database service and a network service. The default importance value for dependent services' health scores is:

D) 10. This is true because the importance value indicates how much a dependent service contributes to the health score of the parent service. The default value is 10, which means that the dependent service has the highest impact on the parent service's health score. You can change the importance value of a dependent service in the service template settings.

The other options are not correct because:

A) 11. This is not true because 11 is an invalid value for importance. The valid range is from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

B) 1. This is not true because 1 is the lowest value for importance, not the default value. A value of 1 means that the dependent service has the lowest impact on the parent service's health score.

C) Unassigned. This is not true because every dependent service has an assigned importance value, which defaults to 10.
