A Splunk admin is troubleshooting a dashboard that shows a 'Search is waiting for input' message. The dashboard has a text input that sets a token used in a panel's search. What is the most likely cause?

The panel's search is using a token that is not defined in the dashboard's XML.

The text input has no default value, so the token is empty until the user enters a value.

The search is using a command that requires a time range, but the dashboard has no time picker.

The search is too long and is still loading.

A Splunk admin is building a dashboard for executives. The dashboard should be visually appealing and easy to read. The admin plans to use custom CSS and JavaScript to enhance the appearance. What is the best practice for implementing these enhancements?

Use Splunk's built-in theme editor to customize the dashboard's appearance.

Embed the CSS and JavaScript directly in the dashboard's simple XML.

Create a separate app that contains the CSS and JavaScript files and reference them in the dashboard.

Use a simple XML extension to load the CSS and JavaScript from an external CDN.

A Splunk admin is troubleshooting a dashboard that shows a 'Search failed' error in one panel. The search works when run manually. The admin checks the dashboard's XML and sees that the panel's search uses a token that is set by a dropdown. The dropdown's search returns results. What is the most likely cause of the search failure?

The token value contains special characters that are not escaped in the search.

The panel's search is using a command that is not available in the dashboard's search mode.

The dropdown's search is using a time range that is not compatible with the panel's search.

The token name in the panel's search is misspelled.

A Splunk admin is troubleshooting a dashboard that works for some users but not others. The dashboard uses a token that is set by a dropdown. Users who see the error 'No results found' have a different role than users who see results. The admin checks the dropdown's search and it returns results for all users. What is the most likely cause?

The dashboard's permissions are set to 'private' for some users, preventing the search from running.

The dropdown's search is using a time range that is not accessible to all roles.

The panel's search is using a token that is not set for some roles because the dropdown's search returns no results for those roles.

The token name in the dropdown is different for different roles due to role-based XML.
