Splunk Core Certified Power User — Question 172

Which of the following is true about event types?

Answer options

• A. Subsearches can be used in an event type definition.
• B. Several event types can be associated with an event.
• C. Creation of event types can only occur through Splunk Web.
• D. Saved searches can be used in an event type definition.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is true because multiple event types can indeed be associated with a single event in Splunk. Option A is incorrect as subsearches are not typically used in event type definitions. Option C is false because event types can also be created using the CLI or configuration files, and option D is misleading since saved searches are not a standard method for defining event types.
