A Splunk admin is creating a POST workflow action that sends a JSON payload to an external API. The API requires a specific header 'X-API-Key' for authentication. The admin has the API key stored as a custom token. How can the admin include this header in the workflow action?

Include the header in the request body as a JSON field.

Add the header in the 'Headers' section of the workflow action editor, using the custom token as the value.

Append the header to the URI as a query parameter.

The workflow action editor does not support custom headers, so this is not possible.

What is the primary purpose of a POST workflow action in Splunk?

To modify the search results stored in the Splunk index

To create a new saved search that runs periodically

To send the search results to an external system using an HTTP POST request

To retrieve additional data from an external system using an HTTP GET request

In the workflow action editor, which fields must be configured to create a POST workflow action?

An admin has created a POST workflow action that sends event data to an internal API. Before rolling it out to all users, the admin wants to verify that the action sends the correct data. What is the best way to test the workflow action?

Send a test request using a tool like curl to the API endpoint.

Use the 'Preview' button in the workflow action editor to see the request body.

Review the workflow action's XML configuration in the app's local folder.

Run a search that returns a sample event, click the workflow action, and check the API logs for the received payload.
