Question 4

In maintenance mode, which features of KPIs still function?

  • A. KPI searches will execute but will be buffered until the maintenance window is over.
  • B. KPI searches still run during maintenance mode, but results go to itsi_maintenance_summary index.
  • C. New KPIs can be created, but existing KPIs are locked.
  • D. KPI calculations and threshold settings can be modified.
Answer:

A


Explanation:
It's a best practice to schedule maintenance windows with a 15- to 30-minute time buffer before and
after you start and stop your maintenance work. This gives the system an opportunity to catch up
with the maintenance state and reduces the chances of ITSI generating false positives during
maintenance operations.

Anomaly detection generates notable events when a KPI IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) deviates from
an expected pattern.
Notable events are typically generated by a correlation search.

Question 14

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.

Explanation:
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.
