Which of the following are accurate reasons to clone a detector? (select all that apply)
- A. To add an additional recipient to the detector's alerts.
- B. To reduce the amount of billed TAPM for the detector.
- C. To modify the rules without affecting the existing detector.
- D. To explore how a detector was created without risk of changing it.
正解：C、D
解説：
Explanation
The correct answers are A and D.
According to the Splunk Test Blueprint - O11y Cloud Metrics User document1, one of the alerting concepts that is covered in the exam is detectors and alerts. Detectors are the objects that define the conditions for generating alerts, and alerts are the notifications that are sent when those conditions are met.
The Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document2 states that one of the recommended courses for preparing for the exam is Alerting with Detectors, which covers how to create, modify, and manage detectors and alerts.
In the Alerting with Detectors course, there is a section on Cloning Detectors, which explains that cloning a detector creates a copy of the detector with all its settings, rules, and alert recipients. The document also provides some reasons why you might want to clone a detector, such as:
To modify the rules without affecting the existing detector. This can be useful if you want to test different thresholds or conditions before applying them to the original detector.
To explore how a detector was created without risk of changing it. This can be helpful if you want to learn from an existing detector or use it as a template for creating a new one.
Therefore, based on these documents, we can conclude that A and D are accurate reasons to clone a detector.
B and C are not valid reasons because:
Cloning a detector does not reduce the amount of billed TAPM for the detector. TAPM stands for Tracked Active Problem Metric, which is a metric that has been alerted on by a detector. Cloning a detector does not change the number of TAPM that are generated by the original detector or the clone.
Cloning a detector does not add an additional recipient to the detector's alerts. Cloning a detector copies the alert recipients from the original detector, but it does not add any new ones. To add an additional recipient to a detector's alerts, you need to edit the alert settings of the detector.
質問 # 28
Which analytic function can be used to discover peak page visits for a site over the last day?
- A. Lag: (24h)
- B. Count: (Id)
- C. Maximum: Aggregation (Id)
- D. Maximum: Transformation (24h)
正解：D
解説：
Explanation
According to the Splunk Observability Cloud documentation1, the maximum function is an analytic function that returns the highest value of a metric or a dimension over a specified time interval. The maximum function can be used as a transformation or an aggregation. A transformation applies the function to each metric time series (MTS) individually, while an aggregation applies the function to all MTS and returns a single value. For example, to discover the peak page visits for a site over the last day, you can use the following SignalFlow code:
maximum(24h, counters("page.visits"))
This will return the highest value of the page.visits counter metric for each MTS over the last 24 hours. You can then use a chart to visualize the results and identify the peak page visits for each MTS.
質問 # 29
What is one reason a user of Splunk Observability Cloud would want to subscribe to an alert?
- A. To perform transformations on the data used by the detector.
- B. To receive an email notification when a detector is triggered.
- C. To be able to modify the alert parameters.
- D. To determine the root cause of the Issue triggering the detector.
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
One reason a user of Splunk Observability Cloud would want to subscribe to an alert is C. To receive an email notification when a detector is triggered.
A detector is a component of Splunk Observability Cloud that monitors metrics or events and triggers alerts when certain conditions are met. A user can create and configure detectors to suit their monitoring needs and goals1 A subscription is a way for a user to receive notifications when a detector triggers an alert. A user can subscribe to a detector by entering their email address in the Subscription tab of the detector page. A user can also unsubscribe from a detector at any time2 When a user subscribes to an alert, they will receive an email notification that contains information about the alert, such as the detector name, the alert status, the alert severity, the alert time, and the alert message. The email notification also includes links to view the detector, acknowledge the alert, or unsubscribe from the detector2 To learn more about how to use detectors and subscriptions in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to these documentations12.

質問 # 30
A customer is experiencing issues getting metrics from a new receiver they have configured in the OpenTelemetry Collector. How would the customer go about troubleshooting further with the logging exporter?
- A. Adding logging into the metrics receiver pipeline:
- B. Adding logging into the metrics exporter pipeline:
- C. Adding debug into the metrics receiver pipeline:
- D. Adding debug into the metrics exporter pipeline:
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
The correct answer is B. Adding logging into the metrics receiver pipeline.
The logging exporter is a component that allows the OpenTelemetry Collector to send traces, metrics, and logs directly to the console. It can be used to diagnose and troubleshoot issues with telemetry received and processed by the Collector, or to obtain samples for other purposes1 To activate the logging exporter, you need to add it to the pipeline that you want to diagnose. In this case, since you are experiencing issues with a new receiver for metrics, you need to add the logging exporter to the metrics receiver pipeline. This will create a new plot that shows the metrics received by the Collector and any errors or warnings that might occur1 The image that you have sent with your question shows how to add the logging exporter to the metrics receiver pipeline. You can see that the exporters section of the metrics pipeline includes logging as one of the options.
This means that the metrics received by any of the receivers listed in the receivers section will be sent to the logging exporter as well as to any other exporters listed2 To learn more about how to use the logging exporter in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to this documentation1.

Which of the following statements are true about local data links? (select all that apply)
- A. Local data links are available on only one dashboard.
- B. Only Splunk Observability Cloud administrators can create local links.
- C. Local data links can only have a Splunk Observability Cloud internal destination.
- D. Anyone with write permission for a dashboard can add local data links that appear on that dashboard.
正解：A、D
解説：
Explanation
The correct answers are A and D.
According to the Get started with Splunk Observability Cloud document1, one of the topics that is covered in the Getting Data into Splunk Observability Cloud course is global and local data links. Data links are shortcuts that provide convenient access to related resources, such as Splunk Observability Cloud dashboards, Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise, custom URLs, and Kibana logs.
The document explains that there are two types of data links: global and local. Global data links are available on all dashboards and charts, while local data links are available on only one dashboard. The document also provides the following information about local data links:
Anyone with write permission for a dashboard can add local data links that appear on that dashboard.
Local data links can have either a Splunk Observability Cloud internal destination or an external destination, such as a custom URL or a Kibana log.
Only Splunk Observability Cloud administrators can delete local data links.
Therefore, based on this document, we can conclude that A and D are true statements about local data links. B and C are false statements because:
B is false because local data links can have an external destination as well as an internal one.
C is false because anyone with write permission for a dashboard can create local data links, not just administrators.
質問 # 32
Which of the following are ways to reduce flapping of a detector? (select all that apply)
- A. Establish a reset threshold for the detector.
- B. Enable the anti-flap setting in the detector options menu.
- C. Configure a duration or percent of duration for the alert.
- D. Apply a smoothing transformation (like a rolling mean) to the input data for the detector.
正解：C、D
解説：
Explanation
According to the Splunk Lantern article Resolving flapping detectors in Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring, flapping is a phenomenon where alerts fire and clear repeatedly in a short period of time, due to the signal fluctuating around the threshold value. To reduce flapping, the article suggests the following ways:
Configure a duration or percent of duration for the alert: This means that you require the signal to stay above or below the threshold for a certain amount of time or percentage of time before triggering an alert. This can help filter out noise and focus on more persistent issues.
Apply a smoothing transformation (like a rolling mean) to the input data for the detector: This means that you replace the original signal with the average of its last several values, where you can specify the window length. This can reduce the impact of a single extreme observation and make the signal less fluctuating.
質問 # 33
Which of the following is optional, but highly recommended to include in a datapoint?
- A. Timestamp
- B. Metric name
- C. Metric type
- D. Value
正解：C
解説：
Explanation
The correct answer is D. Metric type.
A metric type is an optional, but highly recommended field that specifies the kind of measurement that a datapoint represents. For example, a metric type can be gauge, counter, cumulative counter, or histogram. A metric type helps Splunk Observability Cloud to interpret and display the data correctly1 To learn more about how to send metrics to Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to this documentation2.

質問 # 34
To smooth a very spiky cpu.utilization metric, what is the correct analytic function to better see if the cpu.
utilization for servers is trending up over time?
- A. Rate/Sec
- B. Mean (by host)
- C. Mean (Transformation)
- D. Median
正解：C
解説：
Explanation
The correct answer is D. Mean (Transformation).
According to the web search results, a mean transformation is an analytic function that returns the average value of a metric or a dimension over a specified time interval1. A mean transformation can be used to smooth a very spiky metric, such as cpu.utilization, by reducing the impact of outliers and noise. A mean transformation can also help to see if the metric is trending up or down over time, by showing the general direction of the average value. For example, to smooth the cpu.utilization metric and see if it is trending up over time, you can use the following SignalFlow code:
mean(1h, counters("cpu.utilization"))
This will return the average value of the cpu.utilization counter metric for each metric time series (MTS) over the last hour. You can then use a chart to visualize the results and compare the mean values across different MTS.
Option A is incorrect because rate/sec is not an analytic function, but rather a rollup function that returns the rate of change of data points in the MTS reporting interval1. Rate/sec can be used to convert cumulative counter metrics into counter metrics, but it does not smooth or trend a metric. Option B is incorrect because median is not an analytic function, but rather an aggregation function that returns the middle value of a metric or a dimension over the entire time range1. Median can be used to find the typical value of a metric, but it does not smooth or trend a metric. Option C is incorrect because mean (by host) is not an analytic function, but rather an aggregation function that returns the average value of a metric or a dimension across all MTS with the same host dimension1. Mean (by host) can be used to compare the performance of different hosts, but it does not smooth or trend a metric.
Mean (Transformation) is an analytic function that allows you to smooth a very spiky metric by applying a moving average over a specified time window. This can help you see the general trend of the metric over time, without being distracted by the short-term fluctuations1 To use Mean (Transformation) on a cpu.utilization metric, you need to select the metric from the Metric Finder, then click on Add Analytics and choose Mean (Transformation) from the list of functions. You can then specify the time window for the moving average, such as 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 1 hour. You can also group the metric by host or any other dimension to compare the smoothed values across different servers2 To learn more about how to use Mean (Transformation) and other analytic functions in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to this documentation2.

質問 # 35
A customer operates a caching web proxy. They want to calculate the cache hit rate for their service. What is the best way to achieve this?
- A. Percentages and ratios
- B. Chart Options and metadata
- C. Timeshift and Top N
- D. Timeshift and Bottom N
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
According to the Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document1, percentages and ratios are useful for calculating the proportion of one metric to another, such as cache hits to cache misses, or successful requests to failed requests. You can use the percentage() or ratio() functions in SignalFlow to compute these values and display them in charts. For example, to calculate the cache hit rate for a service, you can use the following SignalFlow code:
percentage(counters("cache.hits"), counters("cache.misses"))
This will return the percentage of cache hits out of the total number of cache attempts. You can also use the ratio() function to get the same result, but as a decimal value instead of a percentage.
ratio(counters("cache.hits"), counters("cache.misses"))
質問 # 36
Which of the following statements about adding properties to MTS are true? (select all that apply)
- A. Properties are applied to dimension key:value pairs and propagated to all MTS with that dimension
- B. Properties are sent in with datapoints.
- C. Properties can be set in the UI under Metric Metadata.
- D. Properties can be set via the API.
正解：C、D
解説：
Explanation
According to the web search results, properties are key-value pairs that you can assign to dimensions of existing metric time series (MTS) in Splunk Observability Cloud1. Properties provide additional context and information about the metrics, such as the environment, role, or owner of the dimension. For example, you can add the property use: QA to the host dimension of your metrics to indicate that the host that is sending the data is used for QA.
To add properties to MTS, you can use either the API or the UI. The API allows you to programmatically create, update, delete, and list properties for dimensions using HTTP requests2. The UI allows you to interactively create, edit, and delete properties for dimensions using the Metric Metadata page under Settings3.
Therefore, option A and D are correct.
質問 # 37
What happens when the limit of allowed dimensions is exceeded for an MTS?
- A. The datapoint is dropped.
- B. The datapoint is updated.
- C. The datapoint is averaged.
- D. The additional dimensions are dropped.
正解：D
解説：
Explanation
According to the web search results, dimensions are metadata in the form of key-value pairs that monitoring software sends in along with the metrics. The set of metric time series (MTS) dimensions sent during ingest is used, along with the metric name, to uniquely identify an MTS1. Splunk Observability Cloud has a limit of 36 unique dimensions per MTS2. If the limit of allowed dimensions is exceeded for an MTS, the additional dimensions are dropped and not stored or indexed by Observability Cloud2. This means that the data point is still ingested, but without the extra dimensions. Therefore, option A is correct.
質問 # 38
Which of the following are required in the configuration of a data point? (select all that apply)
- A. Metric Type
- B. Value
- C. Metric Name
- D. Timestamp
正解：B、C、D
解説：
Explanation
The required components in the configuration of a data point are:
Metric Name: A metric name is a string that identifies the type of measurement that the data point represents, such as cpu.utilization, memory.usage, or response.time. A metric name is mandatory for every data point, and it must be unique within a Splunk Observability Cloud organization1 Timestamp: A timestamp is a numerical value that indicates the time at which the data point was collected or generated. A timestamp is mandatory for every data point, and it must be in epoch time format, which is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC1 Value: A value is a numerical value that indicates the magnitude or quantity of the measurement that the data point represents. A value is mandatory for every data point, and it must be compatible with the metric type of the data point1 Therefore, the correct answer is A, C, and D.

質問 # 41
What is the limit on the number of properties that an MTS can have?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. No limit
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
The correct answer is A. 64.
According to the web search results, the limit on the number of properties that an MTS can have is 64. A property is a key-value pair that you can assign to a dimension of an existing MTS to add more context to the metrics. For example, you can add the property use: QA to the host dimension of your metrics to indicate that the host is used for QA1 Properties are different from dimensions, which are key-value pairs that are sent along with the metrics at the time of ingest. Dimensions, along with the metric name, uniquely identify an MTS. The limit on the number of dimensions per MTS is 362 To learn more about how to use properties and dimensions in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to this documentation2.
