eports, and /services/data/ui/views for dashboard panels. When saving as a dashboard panel, the search is embedded as a panel XML element within a dashboard definition, which can be either inline or referenced via a saved search ID. This distinction is critical because inline panels are static, while referenced panels update dynamically with the saved search.","keyConcepts":[],"faqs":[],"eliminationLogic":null,"exhibitText":null,"exhibitUrl":null,"hasExhibit":false,"isExhibitQuestion":false,"questionPairs":null,"hasMatchingPairs":false,"isMatchingQuestion":false,"relatedQuestions":[],"breadcrumbItems":null,"nextQuestionUrl":null,"previousQuestionUrl":null,"domainPracticeUrl":null,"certificationUrl":null,"domainUrl":null,"hasAnswerOptions":true,"updatedAt":"2026-06-30T18:04:41.098+00:00","questionType":"multi_select"},{"id":"1a3e4e64-ba68-4f81-963b-217e65485f38","slug":"when-tagging-events-in-splunk-to-map-them-to-a-data-model-w-y3lpu","certificationSlug":"splunk-core-certified-user","examCode":"SPLK-1001","examName":"Splunk Core Certified User SPLK-1002","questionText":"When tagging events in Splunk to map them to a data model, which tag is used to associate events with a specific data model dataset?","difficulty":"easy","domain":"","domainSlug":"","topic":"","questionNumber":0,"totalQuestions":0,"options":[{"key":"A","isCorrect":false,"text":"tag::datamodel=","explanation":"The correct syntax is tag::=, not tag::datamodel.","masteryContext":""},{"key":"B","isCorrect":true,"text":"tag::=","explanation":"This format correctly maps events to a data model dataset.","masteryContext":""},{"key":"C","isCorrect":false,"text":"tag::=","explanation":"Should be , not .","masteryContext":""},{"key":"D","isCorrect":false,"text":"tag::=","explanation":"The order is reversed; dataset should be after the equals sign.","masteryContext":""}],"correctOptionKey":"B","correctOptions":["B"],"correctAnswerText":"","isMultiSelect":false,"mainExplanation":"In Splunk, the tag syntax `tag::=` is used to map events to a specific dataset within a data model. The tag key is the data model name, and the tag value is the dataset name, which allows Splunk's data model acceleration to correctly categorize events for reporting and pivot use.","examTrap":"The trap here is that candidates often confuse the order of the data model name and dataset name, mistakenly thinking the dataset should be the tag key (as in option D) or that a generic placeholder like 'datamodel' works (as in option A), when Splunk strictly requires the data model name as the tag key and the dataset name as the tag value.","examTip":null,"technicalDeepDive":"Under the hood, Splunk uses these tags to populate the `datamodel` field during index-time or search-time field extraction, enabling the `| datamodel` command and pivot functionality to filter events by dataset. A real-world scenario is when you have a web access data model with datasets like 'Web_Access' and 'Web_Error'; tagging events with `tag::Web=Web_Access` ensures only relevant events appear in that dataset's pivot. This tag-based mapping is critical for data model acceleration to precompute summaries, as incorrect tags can cause missing or misclassified data in reports.","keyConcepts":[],"faqs":[],"eliminationLogic":null,"exhibitText":null,"exhibitUrl":null,"hasExhibit":false,"isExhibitQuestion":false,"questionPairs":null,"hasMatchingPairs":false,"isMatchingQuestion":false,"relatedQuestions":[],"breadcrumbItems":null,"nextQuestionUrl":null,"previousQuestionUrl":null,"domainPracticeUrl":null,"certificationUrl":null,"domainUrl":null,"hasAnswerOptions":true,"updatedAt":"2026-06-24T22:17:59.541+00:00","questionType":"multiple_choice"},{"id":"e124152a-b66b-4ca1-9a22-fb1078a76d84","slug":"refer-to-the-exhibit-a-user-runs-this-search-from-a-dashboa-1u5bp","certificationSlug":"splunk-core-certified-user","examCode":"SPLK-1001","examName":"Splunk Core Certified User SPLK-1002","questionText":"Refer to the exhib
