Searching Splunk properly: how a search actually runs, which fields are worth filtering on, the SPL commands that do most of the work, and turning results into reports, dashboards and alerts.

What the exam covers

The domains our question bank is built on. We have not yet transcribed this vendor’s own outline for this exam.

Splunk basics and basic searching	27%
Using fields and search language fundamentals	35%

Two sample questions

Two of the 198, with the answer and the explanation.

1. Which command counts events grouped by a field?

eval count by host
fields count by host
where count by host
stats count by host — correct

Why: Stats aggregates and the by clause splits the count per value.

2. What does the head command return?

The first N results — correct
The last N results
A random result
A single field

Why: head keeps the first N results.
