Splunk Core Certified User — Question 5

What is one benefit of creating dashboard panels from reports?

Answer options

• A. Any newly created dashboard will include that report.
• B. There are no benefits to creating dashboard panels from reports.
• C. It makes the dashboard more efficient because it only has to run one search string.
• D. Any change to the underlying report will affect every dashboard that utilizes that report.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a dashboard panel is created from a report, any modifications made to the report will automatically update all dashboards that incorporate that report. Options A and C are incorrect as they either imply a universal inclusion of reports in new dashboards or suggest improved efficiency due to reduced searches, which do not address the impact of report changes. Option B is false since there are clear benefits to utilizing reports for dashboard panels.
