Splunk SPLK-3003 Online Dumps Are Available For Splunk Core Certified Consultant Candidates

1. How does Monitoring Console (MC) initially identify the server role(s) of a new Splunk Instance?

2. A customer has asked for a five-node search head cluster (SHC), but does not have the storage budget to use a replication factor greater than 2. They would like to understand what might happen in terms of the users’ ability to view historic scheduled search results if they log onto a search head which doesn’t contain one of the 2 copies of a given search artifact.

Which of the following statements best describes what would happen in this scenario?

3. Monitoring Console (MC) health check configuration items are stored in which configuration file?

4. What should be considered when running the following CLI commands with a goal of accelerating an index cluster migration to new hardware?

5. Which statement is true about subsearches?

6. A customer has been using Splunk for one year, utilizing a single/all-in-one instance. This single Splunk server is now struggling to cope with the daily ingest rate. Also, Splunk has become a vital system in day-to-day operations making high availability a consideration for the Splunk service. The customer is unsure how to design the new environment topology in order to provide this.

Which resource would help the customer gather the requirements for their new architecture?

7. The customer has an indexer cluster supporting a wide variety of search needs, including scheduled search, data model acceleration, and summary indexing.

Here is an excerpt from the cluster mater’s server.conf:

Which strategy represents the minimum and least disruptive change necessary to protect the searchability of the indexer cluster in case of indexer failure?

8. What is the primary driver behind implementing indexer clustering in a customer’s environment?

9. In a single indexer cluster, where should the Monitoring Console (MC) be installed?

10. A customer has downloaded the Splunk App for AWS from Splunkbase and installed it in a search head cluster following the instructions using the deployer. A power user modifies a dashboard in the app on one of the search head cluster members. The app containing an updated dashboard is upgraded to the latest version by following the instructions via the deployer.

What happens?

11. A customer’s deployment server is overwhelmed with forwarder connections after adding an additional 1000 clients. The default phone home interval is set to 60 seconds. To reduce the number of connection failures to the DS what is recommended?

12. Which of the following server.conf stanzas indicates the Indexer Discovery feature has not been fully configured (restart pending) on the Master Node?

A)

B)

C)

D)

13. What is the Splunk PS recommendation when using the deployment server and building deployment apps?

14. Which of the following processor occur in the indexing pipeline?

15. Which configuration item should be set to false to significantly improve data ingestion performance?

16. A customer has a new set of hardware to replace their aging indexers.

What method would reduce the amount of bucket replication operations during the migration process?

17. When a bucket rolls from cold to frozen on a clustered indexer, which of the following scenarios occurs?

18. A site from a multi-site indexer cluster needs to be decommissioned.

Which of the following actions must be taken?

19. A customer wants to implement LDAP because managing local Splunk users is becoming too much of an overhead.

What configuration details are needed from the customer to implement LDAP authentication?

20. A customer has a search cluster (SHC) of six members split evenly between two data centers (DC). The customer is concerned with network connectivity between the two DCs due to frequent outages.

Which of the following is true as it relates to SHC resiliency when a network outage occurs between the two DCs?

21. A [script://]input sends data to a Splunk forwarder using which method?

22. A customer wants to understand how Splunk bucket types (hot, warm, cold) impact search performance within their environment. Their indexers have a single storage device for all data.

What is the proper message to communicate to the customer?

23. An index receives approximately 50GB of data per day per indexer at an even and consistent rate. The customer would like to keep this data searchable for a minimum of 30 days. In addition, they have hourly scheduled searches that process a week’s worth of data and are quite sensitive to search performance.

Given ideal conditions (no restarts, nor drops/bursts in data volume), and following PS best practices, which of the following sets of indexes.conf settings can be leveraged to meet the requirements?

24. A customer has a Universal Forwarder (UF) with an inputs.confmonitoring its splunkd.log. The data is sent through a heavy forwarder to an indexer. Where does the Index time parsing occur?

25. Remove old peers from the CM’s list.

26. Consider the scenario where the /var/log directory contains the files secure, messages, cron,audit.

A customer has created the following inputs.confstanzas in the same Splunk app in order to attempt to monitor the files secure and messages:

Which file(s) will actually be actively monitored?

27. A customer has written the following search:

How can the search be rewritten to maximize efficiency?

A)

B)

C)

D)

28. How could a role in which all users must specify an index=clausein all searches be configured?

29. In which of the following scenarios should base configurations be used to provide consistent, repeatable, and supportable configurations?

30. Data can be onboarded using apps, Splunk Web, or the CLI.

Which is the PS preferred method?
