Splunk Enterprise Security Certified Admin — Question 69

After data is ingested, which data management step is essential to ensure raw data can be accelerated by a Data Model and used by ES?

Answer options

• A. Extracting Fields.
• B. Normalization to the Splunk Common Information Model.
• C. Normalization to Customer Standard.
• D. Applying Tags.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Normalization to the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) is vital as it ensures that the ingested data aligns with a standardized format, allowing for efficient use and acceleration by Data Models in ES. The other options, such as extracting fields or applying tags, do not provide the necessary structure for the data to be utilized effectively within the CIM framework.
