Question 1:
Which of the following accurately describes base searches used for KPIs in a service?
A. Base searches can be used for multiple services.
B. A base search can only be used by its service and all dependent services.
C. All the metrics in a base search are used by one service.
D. All the KPIs in a service use the same base search.
Correct Answer: A
KPI base searches let you share a search definition across multiple KPIs in IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). Create base searches to consolidate multiple similar KPIs, reduce search load, and improve search performance.

Question 2:
Which of the following is a valid type of Multi-KPI Alert?
A. Score over composite.
B. Value over time.
C. Status over time.
D. Rise over run.
Correct Answer: C
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.10.2/SI/MKA
Question 3:
What should be considered when onboarding data into a Splunk index, assuming that ITSI will need to use this data?
A. Use | stats functions in custom fields to prepare the data for KPI calculations.
B. Check if the data could leverage pre-built KPIs from modules, then use the correct TA to onboard the data.
C. Make sure that all fields conform to CIM, then use the corresponding module to import related services.
D. Plan to build as many data models as possible for ITSI to leverage
Correct Answer: B

Question 4:
Which deep dive swim lane type does not require writing SPL?
A. Event lane.
B. Automatic lane.
C. Metric lane.
D. KPI lane.
Correct Answer: B
Among all the search configurations, automatic lane doesn\'t need to be written in Splunk Processing language.
Question 5:
Within a correlation search, dynamic field values can be specified with what syntax?
A. fieldname
B.
C. %fieldname% D. eval(fieldname)
Correct Answer: A
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.2/Search/Searchindexes
Question 6:
When in maintenance mode, which of the following is accurate?
A. Once the window is over, KPIs and notable events will begin to be generated again.
B. KPIs are shown in blue while in maintenance mode.
C. Maintenance mode slots are scheduled on a per hour basis.
D. Service health scores and KPI events are deleted until the window is over.
Correct Answer: A
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.10.2/EA/REBestPractice
Question 7:
Which of the following items describe ITSI Deep Dive capabilities? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Comparing a service\'s notable events over a time period.
B. Visualizing one or more Service KPIs values by time.
C. Examining and comparing alert levels for KPIs in a service over time.
D. Comparing swim lane values for a slice of time.
Correct Answer: BCD
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.10.2/SI/DeepDives
Question 8:
When installing ITSI to support a Distributed Search Architecture, which of the following items apply? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Copy SA-IndexCreationto all indexers.
B. Copy SA-IndexCreationto the etc/apps directory on the index cluster master node.
C. Extract installer package into etc/apps directory of the cluster deployer node.
D. Extract ITSI app package into etc/apps directory of search head.
Correct Answer: A
Copy SA-IndexCreation to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/ on all individual indexers in your environment. Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.10.2/Install/InstallSHC
Question 9:
What are valid considerations when designing an ITSI Service? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Service access control requirements for ITSI Team Access should be considered, and appropriate teams provisioned prior to creating the ITSI Service.
B. Entities, entity meta-data, and entity rules should be planned carefully to support the service design and configuration.
C. Services, entities, and saved searches are stored in the ITSI app, while events created by KPI execution are stored in the itsi_summaryindex.
D. Backfill of a KPI should always be selected so historical data points can be used immediately and alerts based on that data can occur.
Correct Answer: AC
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.10.2/Configure/ImplementPerms
Question 10:
Which of the following are deployment recommendations for ITSI? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Deployments often require an increase of hardware resources above base Splunk requirements.
B. Deployments require a dedicated ITSI search head.
C. Deployments may increase the number of required indexers based on the number of KPI searches.
D. Deployments should use fastest possible disk arrays for indexers.
Correct Answer: ABC
You might need to increase the hardware specifications of your own Enterprise Security deployment above
the minimum hardware requirements depending on your environment.
Install Splunk Enterprise Security on a dedicated search head or search head cluster.
The Splunk platform uses indexers to scale horizontally. The number of indexers required in an Enterprise
Security deployment varies based on the data volume, data type, retention requirements, search type, and
search concurrency.

Question 11:
Which of the following is a best practice for identifying the most effective services with which to start an iterative ITSI deployment?
A. Only include KPIs if they will be used in multiple services.
B. Analyze the business to determine the most critical services.
C. Focus on low-level services.
D. Define a large number of key services early.
Correct Answer: A
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.10.2/SI/MKA
Question 12:
Which of the following applies when configuring time policies for KPI thresholds?
A. A person can only configure 24 policies, one for each hour of the day.
B. They are great if you expect normal behavior at 1:00 to be different than normal behavior at 5:00
C. If a person expects a KPI to change significantly through a cycle on a daily basis, don\'t use it.
D. It is possible for multiple time policies to overlap.
Correct Answer: D
If you\'re creating multiple time policies that require the same threshold values, you can save time by copying the threshold levels and their corresponding values from one policy to another
Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.9.1/SI/TimePolicies
Question 13:
What is the default importance value for dependent services’ health scores?
A. 11
B. 1
C. Unassigned
D. 10
Correct Answer: A
By default, impacting service health scores have an importance value of 11. Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.10.2/SI/Dependencies
Question 14:
What are valid ITSI Glass Table editor capabilities? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Creating glass tables.
B. Correlation search creation.
C. Service swapping configuration.
D. Adding KPI metric lanes to glass tables.
Correct Answer: ACD
Create a glass table to visualize and monitor the interrelationships and dependencies across your IT and
business services.
The service swapping settings are saved and apply the next time you open the glass table.
You can add metrics like KPIs, ad hoc searches, and service health scores that update in real time against
a background that you design. Glass tables show real-time data generated by KPIs and services.

B. Using machine learning to evaluate when data falls outside of an expected pattern.
C. Comparing anomaly detection between two KPIs.
D. Raising an alert when one or more KPIs indicate an outage is occurring.
