Splunk Cloud Certified Admin — Question 4

A customer deals with a holiday rush of traffic during November each year, but does not want to be flooded with alerts when this happens. The increase in traffic is expected and consistent each year. Which detector condition should be used when creating a detector for this data?

Answer options

• A. Outlier Detection
• B. Static Threshold
• C. Calendar Window
• D. Historical Anomaly

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Historical Anomaly, because it helps identify patterns based on past data, making it effective for expected seasonal traffic increases. The other options, such as Outlier Detection and Static Threshold, are not suitable for consistent traffic changes, and Calendar Window does not specifically address historical patterns.
