Splunk SPLK-2002 Exam Dumps - Actual Questions Answers

The splunk edit licenser-localslave command is used to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave. This command will configure the Splunk instance to contact a license master and receive a license from it. This command should be used when the Splunk instance is part of a distributed deployment and needs to share a license pool with other instances. The splunk add licenses command is used to add a license to a Splunk instance, not to convert it to a license slave. The splunk list licenser-slaves command is used to list the license slaves that are connected to a license master, not to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave. The splunk list licenser-localslave command is used to list the license master that a license slave is connected to, not to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave. For more information, see Configure license slaves in the Splunk documentation.

The Monitoring Console (MC) is the Splunk Enterprise monitoring tool that lets you view detailed topology and performance information about your Splunk Enterprise deployment1. The MC can be installed on any Splunk Enterprise instance that can access the data from all the instances in the deployment2. However, following the Splunk recommendations, the MC should be installed on the search head cluster deployer, which is a dedicated instance that manages the configuration bundle for the search head cluster members3. This way, the MC can monitor the search head cluster as well as the indexer cluster and the forwarders, without affecting the performance or availability of the other instances4. The other options are not recommended because they either introduce additional load on the existing instances (such as A and D) or do not have access to the data from the search head cluster (such as B).

According to the Splunk documentation1, the CHARSET setting in props.conf specifies the character set encoding of the source data. This setting has the least impact on indexing performance, as it only affects how Splunk interprets the bytes of the data, not how it processes or transforms the data. The other options are false because:

• The SHOULD_LINEMERGE setting in props.conf determines whether Splunk breaks events based on timestamps or newlines. This setting has a significant impact on indexing performance, as it affects how Splunk parses the data and identifies the boundaries of the events2.
• The TRUNCATE setting in props.conf specifies the maximum number of characters that Splunk indexes from a single line of a file. This setting has a moderate impact on indexing performance, as it affects how much data Splunk reads and writes to the index3.
• The TIME_PREFIX setting in props.conf specifies the prefix that directly precedes the timestamp in the event data. This setting has a moderate impact on indexing performance, as it affects how Splunk extracts the timestamp and assigns it to the event
