SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Which THREE are valid considerations when…
Which THREE are valid considerations when troubleshooting data model acceleration? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Splunk often tests the misconception that data model acceleration requires real-time data, but in reality, acceleration is designed for historical data and uses scheduled summary builds, not real-time searches.
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
✓
The summary index must be writable and have enough disk space.
Data model acceleration creates a summary index that stores pre-computed results. If the summary index is not writable or lacks sufficient disk space, the acceleration process will fail, preventing the data model from being accelerated.
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 summary index must be writable and have enough disk space.
Why this is correct
Acceleration writes summaries to a summary index; it must be writable.
- ✗
Too many fields in the data model can cause acceleration to fail.
Why it's wrong here
Many fields may reduce performance but do not cause failure.
- ✗
The data model must be based on a real-time search to be accelerated.
Why it's wrong here
Acceleration works on historical time ranges, not only real-time.
- ✓
Insufficient memory on the indexer for the summary build process.
Why this is correct
Memory shortage can halt acceleration builds.
- ✓
The base search for the data model must be efficient and not timeout.
Why this is correct
A slow or timing out base search prevents acceleration from completing.
