SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit

Exhibit

| datamodel list
Data model  App       Type   Accelerated?  Status
Web_Traffic  search   root   Yes           Summaries require rebuild
Error_Logs   search   root   No            -

Refer to the exhibit. An admin sees that the Web_Traffic data model is accelerated but shows 'Summaries require rebuild'. What does this status indicate?

⚠ Common exam trap

Splunk often tests the distinction between 'Summaries require rebuild' (caused by definition changes) and other acceleration issues like disk space or range problems, so candidates mistakenly attribute the status to resource constraints or misconfigured ranges.

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 data model definition has been modified and acceleration needs to be rebuilt.

When a data model is accelerated and shows 'Summaries require rebuild', it indicates that the data model definition has been modified (e.g., fields, constraints, or root events changed) since the last summary build. Splunk detects this change and marks the acceleration summaries as stale, requiring a rebuild to ensure query results reflect the updated definition. This is a built-in mechanism to maintain data integrity between the model and its accelerated summaries.

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 disk space for acceleration is full.

    Why it's wrong here

    Disk space issues would show a different error.

  • ✗

    The summary range is too short and needs to be extended.

    Why it's wrong here

    Summary range does not cause this status.

  • ✗

    The acceleration summaries are up to date and optimal.

    Why it's wrong here

    This status indicates a problem, not optimal state.

  • ✓

    The data model definition has been modified and acceleration needs to be rebuilt.

    Why this is correct

    Changes to the model require rebuilding summaries.
