Which of the following transforming commands can be used with transactions?
Correct Answer: A
The correct answer is A. chart, timechart, stats, eventstats. Transforming commands are commands that change the format of the search results into a table or a chart. They can be used to perform statistical calculations, create visualizations, or manipulate data in various ways1. Transactions are groups of events that share some common values and are related in some way. Transactions can be defined by using the transaction command or by creating a transaction type in the transactiontypes.conf file2. Some transforming commands can be used with transactions to create tables or charts based on the transaction fields. These commands include: * chart: This command creates a table or a chart that shows the relationship between two or more fields. It can be used to aggregate values, count occurrences, or calculate statistics3. * timechart: This command creates a table or a chart that shows how a field changes over time. It can be used to plot trends, patterns, or outliers4. * stats: This command calculates summary statistics on the fields in the search results, such as count, sum, average, etc. It can be used to group and aggregate data by one or more fields5. * eventstats: This command calculates summary statistics on the fields in the search results, similar to stats, but it also adds the results to each event as new fields. It can be used to compare events with the overall statistics. These commands can be applied to transactions by using the transaction fields as arguments. For example, if you have a transaction type named "login" that groups events based on the user field and has fields such as duration and eventcount, you can use the following commands with transactions: * | chart count by user : This command creates a table or a chart that shows how many transactions each user has. * | timechart span=1h avg(duration) by user : This command creates a table or a chart that shows the average duration of transactions for each user per hour. * | stats sum(eventcount) as total_events by user : This command creates a table that shows the total number of events for each user across all transactions. * | eventstats avg(duration) as avg_duration : This command adds a new field named avg_duration to each transaction that shows the average duration of all transactions. The other options are not valid because they include commands that are not transforming commands or cannot be used with transactions. These commands are: * diff: This command compares two search results and shows the differences between them. It is not a transforming command and it does not work with transactions. * datamodel: This command retrieves data from a data model, which is a way to organize and categorize data in Splunk. It is not a transforming command and it does not work with transactions. * pivot: This command creates a pivot report, which is a way to analyze data from a data model using a graphical interface. It is not a transforming command and it does not work with transactions.

SPLK-1002 Exam Question 27
Calculated fields can be based on which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
"Calculated fields can reference all types of field extractions and field aliasing, but they cannot reference lookups, event types, or tags."
SPLK-1002 Exam Question 28
When creating a Search workflow action, which field is required?
Correct Answer: A
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/Knowledge/Setupasearchworkflowaction A workflow action is a link that appears when you click an event field value in your search results2. A workflow action can open a web page or run another search based on the field value2. There are two types of workflow actions: GET and POST2. A GET workflow action appends the field value to the end of a URI and opens it in a web browser2. A POST workflow action sends the field value as part of an HTTP request to a web server2. When creating a Search workflow action, which is a type of GET workflow action that runs another search based on the field value, the only required field is the search string2. The search string defines the search that will be run when the workflow action is clicked2. Therefore, option A is correct, while options B, C and D are incorrect because they are not required fields for creating a Search workflow action.
SPLK-1002 Exam Question 29
Which of the following definitions describes a macro named "samplemacro" that accepts two arguments?
Correct Answer: B
In Splunk, a macro can accept arguments, and the correct syntax for a macro that takes two arguments is macro_name(argument1, argument2). In this case, the macro is called samplemacro, and it accepts two arguments, so the correct format would be samplemacro(1,2). This syntax allows for passing dynamic values into the macro, which can then be used to modify the search dynamically based on the arguments provided. References: * Splunk Docs - Macros
SPLK-1002 Exam Question 30
The timechart command buckets data in time intervals depending on:
Correct Answer: B
The timechart command buckets data in time intervals depending on the selected time range2. The timechart command is similar to the chart command but it automatically groups events into time buckets based on the _time field2. The size of the time buckets depends on the time range that you select for your search. For example, if you select Last 24 hours as your time range, Splunk will use 30-minute buckets for your timechart. If you select Last 7 days as your time range, Splunk will use 4-hour buckets for your timechart2. Therefore, option B is correct, while options A and C are incorrect because they are not factors that affect the size of the time buckets.
