Splunk Cloud Certified Admin — Question 9

An SRE came across an existing detector that is a good starting point for a detector they want to create. They clone the detector, update the metric, and add multiple new signals. As a result of the cloned detector, which of the following is true?

Answer options

• A. The new signals will be reflected in the original detector.
• B. The new signals will be reflected in the original chart.
• C. You can only monitor one of the new signals.
• D. The new signals will not be added to the original detector.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a detector is cloned, the original detector remains unchanged and will not reflect any modifications made in the cloned version, including new signals. Options A and B are incorrect as they imply that changes in the cloned detector affect the original, which is not the case. Option C is also incorrect as it limits the monitoring capability to just one signal, which is not true when multiple new signals are added.
