In the Account dropdown, by selecting Change Password.

On the user settings page, in the Password section.

A user wants to change their default app, set their time zone, and update their email address. What is the most efficient way to do all three?

Use the CLI command 'splunk edit user' to update all settings.

Access the user settings page and modify each setting individually.

Edit the 'user-prefs.conf' file directly on the server.

Submit a request to the Splunk administrator to update all three settings.

A Splunk user in Germany prefers to see numbers formatted with a comma as the decimal separator (e.g., 1.234,56) and dates in DD.MM.YYYY format. Currently, Splunk displays numbers in US format (1,234.56). Where can the user change these display preferences?

In the operating system locale settings of the user's workstation.

In the user settings page, under the Number Format and Language sections.

In the search bar, using the 'format' command to change the display of results.

In the Splunk configuration file 'formats.conf' on the server.

A Splunk user has multiple apps installed and wants to set a different default app for different purposes. For example, they want 'Search & Reporting' to load when they log in for general searches, but 'Enterprise Security' to load when they are doing security investigations. What is the best way to achieve this?

Ask the administrator to create a custom role that allows multiple default apps.

Use a saved search to open the 'Enterprise Security' app automatically.

Create two user accounts, one for each app, and log in with the appropriate account.

Set the Default App to 'Search & Reporting' and manually navigate to 'Enterprise Security' when needed.

A user suspects their Splunk account password was exposed in a phishing attempt. They are currently logged into Splunk Web and want to change their password immediately. What is the correct sequence of actions?

Navigate to Settings > Access Controls > Users and edit their own user record.

Log out and use the 'Forgot password' link on the login page.

Run the 'passwd' command in the Splunk CLI to update their password.

Click the account menu (username) > Edit Profile > Change Password, then enter the current and new passwords.
