A Splunk admin is investigating a performance issue that occurred between 2:00 PM and 2:15 PM. The admin notices that some events in the index have a timestamp that is 30 minutes ahead of the actual event time due to a misconfigured forwarder. The admin wants to see all events that were actually received by the indexer during that 15-minute window, regardless of the event's reported timestamp. Which search should the admin use?

index=main earliest=14:00:00 latest=14:15:00

index=main earliest=14:00:00 latest=14:15:00 | eval _time=_indextime

index=main _time>=14:00:00 _time<=14:15:00

index=main _indextime>=14:00:00 _indextime<=14:15:00

A data analyst is investigating why a search is not returning events that were ingested during a specific time window. The analyst suspects that the events have a _time value that is different from when they were indexed. The analyst wants to confirm that the events were indexed during the window. Which approach should the analyst use?

Search on _indextime with the specific time window

Use the time range picker to set the window

Search on _time with the specific time window

What is the primary purpose of the append command in a Splunk search?

To add the results of a second search to the end of the primary search results

To combine fields from two result sets based on a common key

To filter events based on a condition

To sort the results in ascending order
