SPLK-1002 Transactions and Event Correlation Practice Question
Which THREE strategies can help reduce memory usage when using the transaction command? (Select exactly 3 correct answers.)
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
✓
Filter events before the transaction command.
Reducing maxspan and maxpause limits the time window, thus fewer open transactions. Filtering events early and using the fields command to limit fields reduce data volume. Increasing maxopentxn and keepevicted=true increase memory usage.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Filter events before the transaction command.
Why this is correct
Correct: reducing input events lowers memory usage.
- ✓
Reduce maxspan and maxpause.
Why this is correct
Correct: shorter time windows reduce the number of open transactions.
- ✓
Use fields to limit fields before transaction.
Why this is correct
Correct: reducing field count reduces data size.
- ✗
Use keepevicted=true.
Why it's wrong here
keepevicted=true retains partial transactions, increasing memory.
- ✗
Increase maxopentxn.
Why it's wrong here
Increasing maxopentxn allows more open transactions, consuming more memory.
