Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) — Question 30

To make logging searches more efficient and useful in Kibana, an Administrator wants to implement index patterns around the hostname of some software systems. Where should this be configured?

Answer options

• A. Configure a new JSON object in Kibana.
• B. Create a search index in Logstash.
• C. Create an index pattern in Kibana.
• D. Create a time filter on Kibana to look at time only.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating an index pattern in Kibana allows the Administrator to define how Kibana should interpret the data coming from Elasticsearch based on hostnames. Option A is incorrect as a JSON object does not configure index patterns, while option B involves Logstash, which is not necessary for this specific Kibana configuration. Option D only pertains to time filtering, which does not address the need for index patterns.
