A data analyst needs to review events from a specific date, April 1, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The analyst wants to use the time range picker to set this exact window. What is the correct approach?

Select 'Today' and then adjust the time in the search bar.

Select 'All time' and then use 'earliest' and 'latest' in the search.

Select 'Date Range' in the time range picker and enter 04/01/2025 12:00:00 as the start and 04/01/2025 18:00:00 as the end.

Select 'Last 7 days' and then filter the results to April 1.

What is the primary purpose of setting a time range in a Splunk search?

To specify which index the search should query

To sort the search results chronologically

To change the timestamp format displayed in the search results

To limit the search to a specific subset of indexed events based on their timestamps

A new Splunk user runs a search for 'status=404' and sees results. The user is confused because the search returned events from the last 24 hours, but the user expected to see all events in the index. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

The index only contains events from the last 24 hours.

The user must add 'earliest=0' to see all events.

The search syntax 'status=404' automatically limits results to the last 24 hours.

The default time range for a new search is 'Last 24 hours', which limits results to that window.

Where is the time range picker located in the Splunk search interface?

In the Search bar, next to the search button

In the Settings menu under 'Search preferences'
