In a Splunk alert, what does the 'condition' typically evaluate?

The number of users logged into Splunk

The time taken to run the search

The number of results returned by the search

A Splunk admin configures an alert to trigger when the number of HTTP 500 errors exceeds 100 in 5 minutes. The alert action is set to send an email to the on-call engineer. After deployment, the on-call engineer receives an email for every 5-minute window that exceeds the threshold, even if the errors persist continuously. What should the admin configure to reduce notification fatigue?

Change the alert action to a webhook

Set a throttling condition to suppress alerts for a longer time period

Increase the severity level of the alert

Change the alert to a real-time alert

A help desk manager wants to be notified when the number of open tickets in Splunk exceeds 50 for more than 15 minutes. The manager does not need to see the raw events, only a summary count. What is the most efficient way to set this up?

Create a scheduled alert that runs every 15 minutes and triggers when the count of open tickets is greater than 50

Create a dashboard panel that shows the count of open tickets

Create a scheduled search that saves the count to a lookup file

Create a real-time alert that triggers on every new ticket
