Splunk SPLK-1005 Dumps

When there are conflicting configurations in Splunk, the platform resolves them based on the configuration file precedence rules. These rules dictate which settings are applied based on the hierarchy of the configuration files.

In the provided configurations:

The first configuration in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/unix/local/inputs.conf sets the sourcetype to access_combined.

The second configuration in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/inputs.conf sets the sourcetype to linux_secure.

Configuration File Precedence:

In Splunk, configurations in local directories take precedence over those in default.

If two configurations are in local directories of different apps, the alphabetical order of the app names determines the precedence.

Since "search" comes after "unix" alphabetically, the configuration in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/inputs.conf will take precedence.

Therefore, the value of the sourcetype property for this stanza islinux_secure.

This confirms that the correct answer isC. linux_secure.

The correct attribute/value pair to successfully extract the timestamp from the provided events is TIME_FORMAT = %b %d %H:%M:%S. This format corresponds to the structure of the timestamps in the provided data:

%b represents the abbreviated month name (e.g., Sep).

%d represents the day of the month.

%H:%M:%S represents the time in hours, minutes, and seconds.

This format will correctly extract timestamps like "Sep 12 06:11:58".

A private app in Splunk is one that is created and used within a specific organization, and is not publicly available in the Splunkbase app store.

C. An app that is created and used only by a specific organizationis the correct answer. This type of app is developed internally and used by a particular organization, often tailored to meetspecific internal needs. It is not shared with other organizations and remains private within that organization’s Splunk environment.
