SPLK-1001 Splunk Basics and Interface Navigation Practice Question
An analyst notices that searches take long to complete. They want to understand how many events are indexed per second. Which tab in the Monitoring Console provides this information?
⚠ Common exam trap
Splunk often tests the distinction between 'indexing performance' (data input rate) and 'search performance' (query execution speed), so candidates mistakenly choose Search Performance when the question is about data ingestion throughput.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Indexing Performance
The Monitoring Console's 'Indexing Performance' tab provides real-time metrics on indexing throughput, including events per second (EPS) and indexing latency. This directly answers the analyst's need to understand how many events are indexed per second, as it displays the rate at which data is being processed and written to indexes.
