A user is investigating an issue that occurred on a specific date, but the user is unsure of the exact time. The user knows the issue happened between 09:00 and 11:00 on that date. The user also wants to exclude any events from the 'debug' source. Which approach is most efficient?

Search with a broad time range and then use the 'timechart' command to narrow down the results

Set a custom time range for the specific date from 09:00 to 11:00 and add sourcetype!=debug to the search

Search the entire day and manually filter out the debug source

Use the 'Last 24 hours' time range and add sourcetype!=debug

What is the effect of setting a specific time range in a Splunk search?

It limits the search to events that occurred within that time period.

It determines which fields are displayed in the results.

It sorts the results by time in ascending order.

It changes the time zone of the search results.
