Splunk SPLK-2003 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 91:

  When the Splunk App for SOAR Export executes a Splunk search, which activities are completed?

  A. CEF fields are mapped to CIM flelds and a container is created on the SOAR server.
  B. CIM fields are mapped to CEF fields and a container is created on the SOAR server.
  C. CEF fields are mapped to CIM and a container is created on the Splunk server.
  D. CIM fields are mapped to CEF and a container is created on the Splunk server.
  B. CIM fields are mapped to CEF fields and a container is created on the SOAR server.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  When the Splunk App for SOAR Export executes a Splunk search, it typically involves mapping Common Information Model (CIM) fields from Splunk to the Common Event Format (CEF) used by SOAR, after which a container is created on the SOAR server to house the related artifacts and information. This process allows for the integration of data between Splunk, which uses CIM for data normalization, and Splunk SOAR, which uses CEF as its data format for incidents and events.

  Splunk App for SOAR Export is responsible for sending data from your Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud instances to Splunk SOAR. The Splunk App for SOAR Export acts as a translation service between the Splunk platform and Splunk SOAR by performing the following tasks:

  稭apping fields from Splunk platform alerts, such as saved searches and data models, to CEF fields.

  稵ranslating CIM fields from Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) notable events to CEF fields. 稦orwarding events in CEF format to Splunk SOAR, which are stored as artifacts. Therefore, option B is the correct answer, as it states the activities

  that are completed when the Splunk App for SOAR Export executes a Splunk search. Option A is incorrect, because CEF fields are not mapped to CIM fields, but the other way around. Option C is incorrect, because a container is not created

  on the Splunk server, but on the SOAR server. Option D is incorrect, because a container is not created on the Splunk server, but on the SOAR server.

• Question 92:

  When configuring a Splunk asset for SOAR to connect to a Splunk Cloud instance, the user discovers that they need to be able to run two different on_poll searches. How is this possible?

  A. Install a second Splunk app and configure the query in the second app.
  B. Configure the second query in the Splunk App for SOAR Export.
  C. Enter the two queries in the asset as comma separated values.
  D. Configure a second Splunk asset with the second query.
  C. Enter the two queries in the asset as comma separated values.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  In Splunk SOAR, if a user needs to run two different on_poll searches for a Splunk Cloud instance, the way to achieve this is to configure a second Splunk asset specifically for the second query. Each asset can be configured with its own

  on_poll search, allowing multiple searches to be run at their respective intervals. This method provides flexibility and ensures that each search can be managed and configured individually.

  The correct way to run two different on_poll searches from a Splunk Cloud instance to Splunk SOAR is to configure a second Splunk asset with the second query. Each Splunk asset in Splunk SOAR can only have one query for the on_poll

  event, which defines which events to pull in and when to pull them in. Therefore, if you need to run two different queries, you need to create two separate Splunk assets and configure them with the respective queries. The other options are

  either not possible or not effective for this purpose. For example:

  Installing a second Splunk app in Splunk SOAR will not help, as the app is just a container for the actions and assets, not the source of the data.

  Configuring the second query in the Splunk App for SOAR Export will not work, as this app is used to forward events from the Splunk platform to Splunk SOAR, not to pull them in.

  Entering the two queries in the asset as comma separated values will not work, as the asset will only accept one valid query for the on_poll event.

• Question 93:

  Which of the following is a reason to create a new role in SOAR?

  A. To define a set of users who have access to a special label.
  B. To define a set of users who have access to a restricted app.
  C. To define a set of users who have access to an event's reports.
  D. To define a set of users who have access to a sensitive tag.
  A. To define a set of users who have access to a special label.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Creating a new role in Splunk SOAR is often done to define a set of users who have specific access rights, such as access to a special label. Labels in SOAR can be used to categorize data and control access. By assigning a role with access to a particular label, administrators can ensure that only a specific group of users can view or interact with containers, events, or artifacts that have been tagged with that label, thus maintaining control over sensitive data or operations.

• Question 94:

  On a multi-tenant Phantom server, what is the default tenant's ID?

  B. Default
  C. 1
  D. *
  C. 1

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The correct answer is C because the default tenant's ID is 1. The tenant ID is a unique identifier for each tenant on a multi-tenant Phantom server. The default tenant is the tenant that is created when Phantom is installed and contains all the existing data and assets. The default tenant's ID is always 1 and cannot be changed. Other tenants have IDs that are assigned sequentially starting from 2. See Splunk SOAR Documentation for more details. In a multi-tenant Splunk SOAR environment, the default tenant is typically assigned an ID of 1. This ID is system-generated and is used to uniquely identify the default tenant within the SOAR database and system configurations. The default tenant serves as the primary operational environment before any additional tenants are configured, and its ID is crucial for database operations, API calls, and internal reference within the SOAR platform. Understanding and correctly using tenant IDs is essential for managing resources, permissions, and data access in a multi-tenant SOAR setup.

• Question 95:

  How can more than one user perform tasks in a workbook?

  A. Any user in a role with write access to the case's workbook can be assigned to tasks.
  B. Add the required users to the authorized list for the container.
  C. Any user with a role that has Perform Task enabled can execute tasks for workbooks.
  D. The container owner can assign any authorized user to any task in a workbook.
  C. Any user with a role that has Perform Task enabled can execute tasks for workbooks.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  In Splunk SOAR, tasks within workbooks can be performed by any user whose role has the 'Perform Task' capability enabled. This capability is assigned within the role configuration and allows users with the appropriate permissions to execute tasks. It is not limited to users with write access or the container owner; rather, it is based on the specific permissions granted to the role with which the user is associated.

• Question 96:

  A user selects the New option under Sources on the menu. What will be displayed?

  A. A list of new assets.
  B. The New Data Ingestion wizard.
  C. A list of new data sources.
  D. A list of new events.
  B. The New Data Ingestion wizard.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Selecting the New option under Sources in the Splunk SOAR menu typically initiates the New Data Ingestion wizard. This wizard guides users through the process of configuring new data sources for ingestion into the SOAR platform. It is designed to streamline the setup of various data inputs, such as event logs, threat intelligence feeds, or notifications from other security tools, ensuring that SOAR can receive and process relevant security data efficiently. This feature is crucial for expanding SOAR's monitoring and response capabilities by integrating diverse data sources. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe what is displayed when the New option under Sources is selected, making option B the correct choice. New Data Ingestion wizard allows you to create a new data source for Splunk SOAR (On- premises) by selecting the type of data, the ingestion method, and the configuration options. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the description of the New option under Sources on the menu. For example, option A refers to a list of new assets, which is not related to data ingestion. Option C refers to a list of new data sources, which is not what the New option does. Option D refers to a list of new events, which is not the same as creating a new data source.
