Splunk Core Certified Power User — Question 2

Which of the following statements describe the Common Information Model (CIM)? (Choose all that apply.)

Answer options

• A. CIM is a methodology for normalizing data.
• B. CIM can correlate data from different sources.
• C. The Knowledge Manager uses the CIM to create knowledge objects.
• D. CIM is an app that can coexist with other apps on a single Splunk deployment.

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

The correct answers A, B, and C highlight the main functions of CIM, including data normalization, correlation from diverse sources, and its role in the Knowledge Manager. Option D is incorrect because CIM is not an application but rather a model or framework, thus it does not coexist with other apps in the manner described.
