Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

An event handler action in Splunk is an action that is triggered based on user interaction with dashboard elements. Running an eval statement based on a user clicking a value on a form (Option A) is an example of an event handler action. This capability allows dashboards to be interactive and dynamic, responding to user inputs or actions to modify displayed data, visuals, or other elements in real-time.

The rex command? More like the 'wrecks' command, am I right? It's all about that regular expression magic!

Sorting events? Nah, that's not the purpose of the rex command. Option D is not the right choice.

Renaming fields? I don't think that's what the rex command is for. Option C is a no-go for me.

Hmm, I thought the rex command was for removing duplicate events. Guess I was wrong on that one. Option B doesn't seem to be the right answer.

The rex command is definitely used for extracting fields using regular expressions. That's the whole point of it, right? Option A seems like the clear winner here.
