A Splunk admin is building a dashboard that needs to display a custom visualization not available in Splunk's default visualizations. The admin wants to use a simple XML extension. What is the best way to implement this?

Create a custom visualization using Splunk's Visualization API and reference it in the dashboard.

Use a panel with an iframe to embed an external visualization tool.

Use a element and style it with CSS to look like the custom visualization.

Use a element with a custom 'type' attribute.

A Splunk admin has a dashboard that uses a simple XML extension to add a custom JavaScript function. The dashboard was working, but after a recent Splunk upgrade, the custom function no longer executes. The admin checks the browser console and sees a JavaScript error. What is the most likely cause?

The dashboard's permissions were changed during the upgrade, preventing the JavaScript from running.

The Splunk upgrade changed the API that the custom JavaScript relies on, breaking the function.

The custom JavaScript is conflicting with another extension that was added during the upgrade.

The custom JavaScript file is not being loaded because the extension's XML is malformed.

A Splunk admin is creating a dashboard that needs to display a table with a drilldown that opens a new search. The admin wants the drilldown to pass the selected value to the new search. Which simple XML attribute is used to define the drilldown behavior?

The 'search' attribute on the element.

The 'link' attribute on the element.

The 'onclick' attribute on the element.

The 'drilldown' attribute on the element.

Which naming convention is recommended for Splunk views to improve maintainability?

Use short, cryptic names to keep the URL concise.

Use the same name as the search it contains to avoid confusion.

Use a generic name like 'view1' and rely on labels for clarity.

Use descriptive names that reflect the view's purpose, such as 'app_errors_overview'.
