SPLK-1001 Splunk Basics and Interface Navigation Practice Question
From the Splunk Home page, which of the following can be accessed directly?
⚠ Common exam trap
Splunk often tests the misconception that the Home page only provides access to the Search app, leading candidates to overlook the direct access to Settings and Dashboards from the same interface.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
All of the above
The Splunk Home page provides direct access to the Search & Reporting app (via the app tile), Settings (via the gear icon in the top navigation bar), and Dashboards (via the Dashboards tile or the dashboards link). Therefore, all three options (B, C, D) are individually accessible, making option A 'All of the above' the correct answer.
