SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit
Exhibit
| datamodel Web search | where status=500 | stats count by uri_path
Refer to the exhibit. What does this search do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Splunk often tests the distinction between searching raw events and using data models, where candidates mistakenly think `datamodel` returns raw events or counts all events without filters.

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
✓
Counts events from the Web data model where status is 500, grouped by uri_path.
The search uses `| datamodel Web search` to access the Web data model, then pipes the results into a `stats count by uri_path` command. The `where status=500` filter restricts events to those with a 500 status code. This counts events from the Web data model where status is 500, grouped by the uri_path field, making D correct.
