Splunk Core Certified Power User — Question 174

A user creates a Data Model and adds a field. They set the field's flag to "Hidden". What impact does this have when using Pivot?

Answer options

• A. The field is not displayed when the dataset is selected.
• B. Events that contain the field are hidden.
• C. Only events that contain this field are returned, and the field is hidden from use.
• D. The field is removed from all events.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because setting the field's flag to 'Hidden' means it will not be visible when selecting the dataset in Pivot. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that the field's presence affects event visibility or data retrieval in a way that does not align with the 'Hidden' status.
