A Splunk admin is troubleshooting a dashboard that displays a '500 Internal Server Error' when loading. The admin checks the Splunk logs and finds an XML parsing error. What is the most likely cause?

The dashboard's search is using a command that is not available in the current Splunk version.

The dashboard's permissions are misconfigured, preventing the XML from being read.

The dashboard's XML contains an unescaped special character, such as '&'.

The dashboard's JavaScript is conflicting with the XML parser.

A Splunk admin is building a dashboard that needs to display a custom visualization that requires a third-party JavaScript library. The admin wants to ensure the library is loaded only when the dashboard is opened, not on every page load. What is the best practice?

Use a CDN link in the dashboard's HTML panel to load the library.

Embed the library directly in the dashboard's XML using a tag.

Include the library in the app's JavaScript file and load it on every page load.

Use a simple XML extension that loads the library only when the dashboard is rendered.

Which practice is recommended to improve the performance of a Splunk view?

Use the earliest and latest time range in every search to ensure full data coverage.

Use a separate search for each panel to avoid conflicts.

Include as many visualizations as possible to provide comprehensive data.

Limit the number of panels and use post-process searches where appropriate.
