SPLK-1001 Splunk Basics and Interface Navigation Practice Question
Which two tabs are always present in the search results page? (Select TWO)
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the always-present tabs (Events and Statistics) with commonly seen but conditional tabs like Visualization or Patterns, assuming they are permanent because they appear frequently in typical searches.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Events
The Events and Statistics tabs are always present on the search results page because they represent the two fundamental views of search results: the raw event data (Events) and the tabular summary of statistical calculations (Statistics). Even if a search does not produce events or statistics, these tabs remain visible as placeholders, ensuring consistent navigation.
