Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

This is the correct answer because these two filters can help you limit the amount of data that Splunk retrieves from disk, which is the key to fast searching1.The _time filter allows you to specify a narrow time window for your search, which reduces the number of buckets that Splunk scans2.The index filter allows you to specify which index or indexes contain the data that you want to search, which reduces the number of files that Splunk reads3.

The by clause? I thought it was the 'buy' clause, where you have to pay for the privilege of using it!

The by clause? More like the 'bye-bye' clause, because it's about to send your data packing!

Nah, the by clause is all about partitioning the input data. Option D is clearly the correct choice.

Wait, isn't the by clause used to specify the delimiter for the values in a list? I think C is the right answer here.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Isn't the by clause used to calculate numerical stats on each field? Option B sounds more accurate to me.

The by clause is definitely for grouping the results! I remember this from my stats class. Option A is the way to go.
