SPLK-1001 Search Practice Questions
The free SPLK-1001: Splunk Core Certified User questions that deal with search, with answers and explanations. The full bank and the timed practice test cover every topic the exam asks about.
Question #4
What syntax is used to link key/value pairs in search strings?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Key/value pairs are linked with an equals sign, as in action=purchase, which is the syntax Splunk uses to filter on field values.
Question #7
What type of search can be saved as a report?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Any search can be saved as a report, whether or not it contains a transforming command or produces a visualization.
Question #8
Which search matches the events containing the terms “error” and “fail”?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Keywords separated by spaces are combined with an implicit AND, so index=security Error Fail returns events containing both error and fail; search terms are case insensitive. The OR search needs only one term, and the quoted phrase requires the exact words.
Question #10
Which of the following is the recommended way to create multiple dashboards displaying data from the same search?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
A saved report is a reusable knowledge object, so a single search definition can power panels in multiple dashboards without duplication. Duplicated panels, alerts, and exported result files cannot be shared as a live search.
