Splunk SPLK-3003 Core Certified Consultant Questions And Answers With Latest Solutions How does Monitoring Console (MC) initially identify the server role(s) of a new Splunk Instance? A. The MC uses a REST endpoint to query the server. B. Roles are manually assigned within the MC. C. Roles are read from . D. The MC assigns all possible roles by default. ANS A (Core slides pg. 67, initially guesses using REST, then looks at ) The universal forwarder (UF) should be used whenever possible, as it is smaller and more efficient. In which of the following scenarios would a heavy forwarder (HF) be a more appropriate choice? A. When a predictable version of Python is required. B. When filtering 10%-15% of incoming events. C. When monitoring a log file. D. When running a script. ANS A ( Use the universal forwarder whenever possible, it is smaller and more efficient. Only use a heavy forwarder when: • The UI is needed • Advanced event-level routing is needed • You are filtering more than 80% of incoming events • Anonymizing or masking data before forwarding to indexer • Predictable version of Python is needed • Required by an app/modular input (HEC, DBX, Checkpoint OPSEC LEA) When monitoring and forwarding events collected from a file containing unstructured textual events, what is the difference in the Splunk2Splunk payload traffic sent between a universal forwarder (UF) and indexer compared to the Splunk2Splunk payload sent between a heavy forwarder (HF) and the indexer layer? (Assume that the file is being monitored locally on the forwarder.) A. The payload format sent from the UF versus the HF is exactly the same. The payload size is identical because they're both sending 64K chunks. B. The UF sends a stream of data containing one set of medata fields to represent the entire stream, whereas the HF sends individual events, each with their own metadata fields attached, resulting in a larger payload. C. The UF will generally send the payload in the same format, but only when the sourcetype is specified in the and EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLE is set to true. D. The HF sends a stream ANS B (HF adds data / parsing resulting in larger payload)
