Which TWO of the following are valid ways to create a data model in Splunk?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the ability to generate sample data with the ability to create a data model, or assume that a CLI command exists for data model creation, when in fact only the UI and cloning (or REST API) are valid methods.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
From the Settings menu, select Data Models, then click New.
Splunk provides a dedicated UI path to create data models: from the Settings menu, select Data Models, then click New. This is the standard method for defining a new data model, allowing you to specify constraints, field definitions, and object hierarchies without using any command-line or search-based approach.
