Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 52

An organization wants to collect Windows performance data from a set of clients, however, installing Splunk software on these clients is not allowed. What option is available to collect this data in Splunk Enterprise?

Answer options

• A. Use Local Windows host monitoring.
• B. Use Windows Remote Inputs with WMI.
• C. Use Local Windows network monitoring.
• D. Use an index with an Index Data Type of Metrics.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, as Windows Remote Inputs using WMI allows for performance data collection from remote Windows machines without needing to install Splunk on each client. Options A and C are not viable because they involve local installations, and option D pertains to metrics indexing rather than a method for data collection.
