SPLUNK-CORE-CERTIFIED-USER sample questions

2 questions from the SPLUNK-CORE-CERTIFIED-USER practice set, with the answer and explanation.

  1. Question 1
    Which Splunk component should you install on each Linux server to collect its logs with the smallest CPU and memory footprint?
    • A.
      Universal forwarder
    • B.
      Search head
    • C.
      Indexer
    • D.
      Deployment server
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      Universal forwarder

    Explanation

    The Splunk Universal Forwarder is a lightweight agent that collects and sends data with a small footprint and does not index or search it. A search head only runs searches, and an indexer stores and indexes data, so neither is the collection agent for each server. The deployment server distributes configuration to forwarders, which makes it the tempting distractor but not a collector.
  2. Question 2
    The search head is the component that parses incoming data and writes it into index buckets on disk.
    • A.
      True
    • B.
      False
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • B.
      False

    Explanation

    Indexers handle parsing and indexing, writing events into index buckets, while the search head coordinates searches and displays results. Heavy forwarders can also parse data before forwarding it, but a search head does not store incoming data. Universal forwarders are often confused with indexers, yet they forward data without storing it.
