When changing a service template, which of the following will be added to linked services by default?
Correct Answer: C
C) New KPIs. This is true because when you add new KPIs to a service template, they will be automatically added to all the services that are linked to that template. This helps you keep your services consistent and up-to-date with the latest KPI definitions. The other options will not be added to linked services by default because: A) Thresholds. This is not true because when you change thresholds in a service template, they will not affect the existing thresholds in the linked services. You need to manually apply the threshold changes to each linked service if you want them to inherit the new thresholds from the template. B) Entity rules. This is not true because when you change entity rules in a service template, they will not affect the existing entity rules in the linked services. You need to manually apply the entity rule changes to each linked service if you want them to inherit the new entity rules from the template. D) Health score. This is not true because when you change health score settings in a service template, they will not affect the existing health score settings in the linked services. You need to manually apply the health score changes to each linked service if you want them to inherit the new health score settings from the template.
Question 27
What should be considered when onboarding data into a Splunk index, assuming that ITSI will need to use this data?
Correct Answer: B
Reference: When onboarding data into a Splunk index, assuming that ITSI will need to use this data, you should consider the following: B) Check if the data could leverage pre-built KPIs from modules, then use the correct TA to onboard the data. This is true because modules are pre-packaged sets of services, KPIs, and dashboards that are designed for specific types of data sources, such as operating systems, databases, web servers, and so on. Modules help you quickly set up and monitor your IT services using best practices and industry standards. To use modules, you need to install and configure the correct technical add-ons (TAs) that extract and normalize the data fields required by the modules. The other options are not things you should consider because: A) Use | stats functions in custom fields to prepare the data for KPI calculations. This is not true because using | stats functions in custom fields can cause performance issues and inaccurate results when calculating KPIs. You should use | stats functions only in base searches or ad hoc searches, not in custom fields. C) Make sure that all fields conform to CIM, then use the corresponding module to import related services. This is not true because not all modules require CIM-compliant data sources. Some modules have their own data models and field extractions that are specific to their data sources. You should check the documentation of each module to see what data requirements and dependencies they have. D) Plan to build as many data models as possible for ITSI to leverage. This is not true because building too many data models can cause performance issues and resource consumption in your Splunk environment. You should only build data models that are necessary and relevant for your ITSI use cases.
Question 28
Which of the following best describes a default deep dive?
Correct Answer: D
Question 29
Which of the following is a best practice for identifying the most effective services with which to start an iterative ITSI deployment?
Correct Answer: B
Question 30
Which of the following are the default ports that must be configured on Splunk to use ITSI?
Correct Answer: D
Reference: C is the correct answer because ITSI uses the default ports of Splunk Enterprise for its communication and data collection. SplunkWeb uses port 8000, SplunkD uses port 8089, and HTTP Event Collector uses port 8088. These ports can be changed if needed, but they must match the configuration of Splunk Enterprise.
