Question 1
Which of the following rollups will display the time delta between a datapoint being sent and a datapoint being received?
  1. Jitter
  2. Delay
  3. Lag
  4. Latency
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
According to the Splunk Observability Cloud documentation1, lag is a rollup function that returns the difference between the most recent and the previous data point values seen in the metric time series reporting interval.This can be used to measure the time delta between a data point being sent and a data point being received, as long as the data points have timestamps that reflect their send and receive times. For example, if a data point is sent at 10:00:00 and received at 10:00:05, the lag value for that data point is 5 seconds.

Question 3
Which analytic function can be used to discover peak page visits for a site over the last day?
  1. Maximum: Transformation (24h)
  2. Maximum: Aggregation (Id)
  3. Lag: (24h)
  4. Count: (Id)
Correct answer: A
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.

Question 8
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?
  1. Percentages and ratios
  2. Timeshift and Bottom N
  3. Timeshift and Top N
  4. Chart Options and metadata
Correct answer: A
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''))

Question 10
When writing a detector with a large number of MTS, such as memory. free in a deployment with 30,000 hosts, it is possible to exceed the cap of MTS that can be contained in a single plot. Which of the choices below would most likely reduce the number of MTS below the plot cap?
  1. Select the Sharded option when creating the plot.
  2. Add a filter to narrow the scope of the measurement.
  3. Add a restricted scope adjustment to the plot.
  4. When creating the plot, add a discriminator.
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Add a filter to narrow the scope of the measurement.A filter is a way to reduce the number of metric time series (MTS) that are displayed on a chart or used in a detector. A filter specifies one or more dimensions and values that the MTS must have in order to be included. For example, if you want to monitor the memory.free metric only for hosts that belong to a certain cluster, you can add a filter like cluster:my-cluster to the plot or detector. This will exclude any MTS that do not have the cluster dimension or have a different value for it1Adding a filter can help you avoid exceeding the plot cap, which is the maximum number of MTS that can be contained in a single plot. The plot cap is 100,000 by default, but it can be changed by contacting Splunk Support2 To learn more about how to use filters in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to this documentation3.1: https://docs.splunk.com/Observability/gdi/metrics/search.html#Filter-metrics2: https://docs.splunk.com/Observability/gdi/metrics/detectors.html#Plot-cap3: https://docs.splunk.com/Observability/gdi/metrics/search.html
