When you expand an event in the search results, what two main components are visible?

The search query and the time range

The raw event data and the extracted fields

The source file and the sourcetype

A user is looking at a search result and sees the following fields: host=web01, source=/var/log/access.log, sourcetype=access_combined. What does the 'source' field tell the user?

The file or input from which the event originated

The time the event was generated

The name of the machine that generated the event

An analyst is troubleshooting a search that returns events with _time values that are consistently 5 hours ahead of the timestamps in the raw log messages. The raw logs contain timestamps in UTC, and the analyst's Splunk environment is set to a timezone that is UTC-5. What is the most likely cause of this discrepancy?

The search time range is set incorrectly

Splunk is using the ingestion time instead of the event time

Splunk is interpreting the timestamps as being in the local timezone instead of UTC

The raw log messages are incorrect

In the Splunk search results table, what does the `_time` field represent?

The time the event was indexed into Splunk

The time the user last viewed the event

The time the search was executed

The timestamp extracted from the event's raw data
