Splunk Core Certified Power User — Question 194

Which of the following is true about the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM)?

Answer options

• A. The CIM contains 28 pre-configured datasets.
• B. The data models included in the CIM are configured with data model acceleration turned on.
• C. The data models included in the CIM are configured with data model acceleration turned off.
• D. The CIM is an app that needs to run on the indexer.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the data models in the CIM are indeed configured with data model acceleration turned off, which is a key characteristic of the CIM. Option A is incorrect as it misstates the number of datasets, while option B incorrectly claims that acceleration is turned on. Option D is also wrong since the CIM is not an app that runs on the indexer.
