Question 205 of 502
SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Creating Reports, Dashboards and Visualizations
A SOC manager creates a dashboard with multiple time-range pickers (one global, one per panel). The global picker is set to 'Last 7 days' but one panel uses its own picker set to 'Last 24 hours'. When the dashboard loads, which time range will the panel use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume the global picker always applies to all panels, not realizing that individual panel pickers override the global setting entirely.
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
✓
The panel's own picker setting of 'Last 24 hours'
In Splunk dashboards, when a panel has its own time-range picker configured, it overrides the global time-range picker for that specific panel. The panel will use its own picker setting of 'Last 24 hours' regardless of the global setting of 'Last 7 days'. This behavior ensures that individual panels can display data for different time ranges as needed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The dashboard default of 'Last 24 hours'
Why it's wrong here
There is no dashboard default; the panel's picker is used.
- ✗
A combination of both: the last 7 days but limited to 24 hours
Why it's wrong here
No combination occurs; only one time range is used.
- ✗
The global picker setting of 'Last 7 days'
Why it's wrong here
Global picker is overridden by panel-specific picker.
- ✓
The panel's own picker setting of 'Last 24 hours'
Why this is correct
Panel-specific settings take precedence over global.
