SPLK-1002 Transactions and Event Correlation Practice Question
A search using the transaction command is producing many partial transactions that are closed due to maxpause, but these transactions are often relevant and should not be discarded. Which option should be added to the transaction command to keep these partial results?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
keepevicted=true
The keepevicted=true option retains transactions that are closed due to maxpause (i.e., evicted transactions). This ensures that partial but potentially relevant transactions are not discarded and appear in the results. The closed=true option is not a valid parameter for the transaction command.
