SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. index=web sourcetype=access_combined | stats count by status | where count > 1000
Refer to the exhibit. A user runs the search shown. The search returns results, but the user wants to use a data model to make future searches faster and more consistent. Which data model should the user select and what is the correct acceleration setting?
⚠ Common exam trap
Splunk often tests the misconception that 'Accelerate All Datasets' is a valid global setting, when in fact acceleration must be enabled individually on each dataset within a data model.
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
✓
Use the CIM Web data model and accelerate the 'Web' dataset.
The search shown uses fields like `status`, `action`, `uri`, and `method`, which are standard fields in the CIM Web data model. Accelerating the 'Web' dataset pre-computes the relevant field extractions and aggregations, making future searches faster and more consistent without requiring the user to manually define field extractions or transformations.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use the CIM Web data model and accelerate the 'Web' dataset.
Why this is correct
Correct: CIM Web data model covers web traffic and acceleration is set on datasets.
- ✗
Use the CIM Web data model and select 'Accelerate All Datasets' from the settings.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: There is no 'Accelerate All Datasets' option; each dataset must be individually configured.
- ✗
Create a new data model called 'Access' and enable acceleration on root events.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Root events cannot be accelerated; only child datasets.
- ✗
Use the built-in 'Searches' data model to pre-compute the count and status fields.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: There is no 'Searches' data model in CIM.
