Which TWO are true about the 'eval' command?

A security analyst needs to correlate failed login events with subsequent successful logins from the same source IP within a 10-minute window. The raw events contain src_ip and action fields but no session identifier. Which Splunk transforming command should the analyst use to group these events into sessions based on time proximity?

Which TWO of the following are true about 'eventstats'?

A Splunk power user needs to calculate the total number of events per sourcetype and include a column that shows the percentage of total events each sourcetype represents. The search should return a table with sourcetype, count, and percentage. Which sequence of commands achieves this?

An analyst is reviewing web server logs and needs to display the top 5 URL paths by total bytes transferred. The field 'bytes' is numeric, and 'uri_path' is a string. Which search produces the correct result with the least performance impact?

A Splunk administrator is building a dashboard panel that must show the total number of events per sourcetype and also include a column showing what percentage each sourcetype contributes to the overall event count. The search already uses stats count by sourcetype. Which approach will add the percentage column correctly in a single search?

A Splunk user needs to add a field that indicates whether a response time is above or below a threshold of 500 milliseconds. The events contain a field named response_time. Which eval function should they use to create a new field called performance_category with values 'slow' or 'fast'?

A power user wants to create a report that shows the average duration of each transaction, grouped by the 'service' field. The transactions are already grouped by a unique 'transaction_id' using the transaction command. Which command should be used next to calculate the average duration per service?

Which TWO are common causes for a 'transaction' command taking too long?

How do you extract a portion of a string using 'eval'?

A security analyst wants to display a table of failed login attempts where the source IP field is shown as a clickable link that opens an external threat intelligence lookup page. The URL should embed the src_ip value, for example https://threatintel.example.com/lookup?ip=192.0.2.1. Which Splunk command and syntax should the analyst use to replace the src_ip field with the hyperlink while keeping the original field name in the results?

A Splunk analyst is reviewing authentication logs and wants to reduce noise by showing only the first and last event for each user session, where a session is defined by a user field and a 30-minute inactivity timeout. The analyst also wants to include the total duration of each session. Which command should be used?

A Splunk power user is creating a report that requires calculating the running total of sales amounts over time, and also needs to include the overall average sales amount for each region on every row. Which two commands can be used together to achieve this? (Choose two.)

A security analyst needs to enrich raw firewall logs by attaching the matching department name from a lookup table. The lookup table contains department IDs, and the firewall logs contain a field called dept_id. The analyst wants to add the department name to each event without discarding events that have no matching department ID. Which command should be used?

When using 'stats', how does the 'values()' function differ from 'list()'?

A power user needs to calculate the difference between the current value of a field 'cpu_load' and its value from the previous event, grouped by 'host'. The events are sorted by time. Which command accomplishes this?

Which command sorts results by a field in descending order?

A Splunk user has a search that returns events with a field named status_code containing values like 200, 404, and 500. The user wants to create a new field named status_category that contains the text Success for 200, Client Error for 4xx codes, and Server Error for 5xx codes, without removing the original status_code field. Which eval expression accomplishes this?

You are correlating two searches. What is the primary advantage of using 'join' over 'lookup'?

A Splunk power user is building a search that needs to calculate the difference in seconds between two epoch time fields, start_time and end_time, and then format the result as a human-readable duration like '1h 23m 45s'. The fields are numeric epoch values. Which eval expression accomplishes this?

What is the result of 'transaction' command compared to 'stats'?

A security analyst needs to correlate failed login attempts with subsequent successful logins for the same user within 10 minutes. The relevant events are in the 'auth' index with fields 'user', 'action' (failed or success), and '_time'. Which command should be used to achieve this correlation?
