QUESTION 1
What are the best practices for creating detectors? (select all that apply)
A. View data at highest resolution.
B. Have a consistent value.
C. View detector in a chart.
D. Have a consistent type of measurement.
Answer: ABCD
Explanation:
The best practices for creating detectors are:
View data at highest resolution. This helps to avoid missing important signals
or patterns in the data that could indicate anomalies or issues1
Have a consistent value. This means that the metric or dimension used for
detection should have a clear and stable meaning across different sources,
contexts, and time periods. For example, avoid using metrics that are affected
by changes in configuration, sampling, or aggregation2 View detector in a chart.
This helps to visualize the data and the detector logic, as well as to identify
any false positives or negatives. It also allows to adjust the detector
parameters and thresholds based on the data distribution and behavior3 Have a
consistent type of measurement. This means that the metric or dimension used for
detection should have the same unit and scale across different sources,
contexts, and time periods. For example, avoid mixing bytes and bits, or seconds
and milliseconds.
QUESTION 2
An SRE came across an existing detector that is a good starting point for a
detector they want to create. They clone the detector, update the metric, and
add multiple new signals. As a result of the cloned detector, which of the
following is true?
A. The new signals will be reflected in the original detector.
B. The new signals will be reflected in the original chart.
C. You can only monitor one of the new signals.
D. The new signals will not be added to the original detector.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document1,
cloning a detector creates a copy of the detector that you can modify without
affecting the original detector. You can
change the metric, filter, and signal settings of the cloned detector. However,
the new signals that you add to the cloned detector will not be reflected in the
original detector, nor in the original chart that the detector was based on.
Therefore, option D is correct.
Option A is incorrect because the new signals will not be reflected in the
original detector. Option B is incorrect because the new signals will not be
reflected in the original chart. Option C is incorrect
because you can monitor all of the new signals that you add to the cloned
detector.
QUESTION 3
Which of the following are supported rollup functions in Splunk Observability
Cloud?
A. average, latest, lag, min, max, sum, rate
B. std_dev, mean, median, mode, min, max
C. sigma, epsilon, pi, omega, beta, tau
D. 1min, 5min, 10min, 15min, 30min
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document1,
Observability Cloud has the following rollup functions: Sum: (default for
counter metrics): Returns the sum of all data points in the MTS reporting
interval. Average (default for gauge metrics): Returns the average value of all
data points in the MTS reporting interval. Min: Returns the minimum data point
value seen in the MTS reporting interval. Max: Returns the maximum data point
value seen in the MTS reporting interval. Latest: Returns the most recent data
point value seen in the MTS reporting interval. Lag:
Returns the difference between the most recent and the previous data point
values seen in the MTS reporting interval. Rate: Returns the rate of change of
data points in the MTS reporting interval. Therefore, option A is correct.
QUESTION 4
A Software Engineer is troubleshooting an issue with memory utilization in their
application. They released a new canary version to production and now want to
determine if the average memory usage is lower for requests with the 'canary'
version dimension. They've already opened the graph of memory utilization for
their service.
How does the engineer see if the new release lowered average memory utilization?
A. On the chart for plot A, select Add Analytics, then select
MeanrTransformation. In the window that appears, select 'version' from the Group
By field.
B. On the chart for plot A, scroll to the end and click Enter Function, then
enter 'A/B-l'.
C. On the chart for plot A, select Add Analytics, then select Mean:Aggregation.
In the window that appears, select 'version' from the Group By field.
D. On the chart for plot A, click the Compare Means button. In the window that
appears, type'version1.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. On the chart for plot A, select Add Analytics, then
select Mean:Aggregation.
In the window that appears, select version from the Group By field.
This will create a new plot B that shows the average memory utilization for each
version of the application. The engineer can then compare the values of plot B
for the ˜canary and ˜stable" versions
to see if there is a significant difference.

I always enjoy Scott Duffy training videos. I like how this followed the skills
outline from Splunk.
It was a great course which helped me to clear SPLK-4001, I had previous experience
in QnA Maker and Bot services but other major areas are very well covered by
Scott. In the practice test I scored 70% in the first attempt.. but it gave
proper understanding and logic building thrust.
Jessica
This course is a great walkthrough Splunk Foundation Certificationss, but definitely not
prep material for SPLK-4001 exam.
Scott: cleard my exam in one week
Despite being recently updated this course feels out of date, for example there
are 31 minutes of videos on QnA maker, but this service does not appear on the
current study guide and its not clear from the course content how this differs
from its replacement (Splunk Foundation Certifications for Language).
Furthermore, 10 minutes of videos on knowledge mining feels low for an area that
makes up 15-20% of the exam
