A Splunk admin has created a workflow action and is testing it. The action appears in the search results, but clicking it opens the correct URL in the same tab, causing the admin to lose the search results. The admin wants the link to open in a new tab. What should the admin do?

Use a different token in the URL to force a new tab

Change the Action type from 'link' to 'search'

Edit the workflow action and enable the 'Open in new window' option

Add 'target=_blank' to the end of the URL

A Splunk admin has just created a new workflow action that should appear on the 'src_ip' field. After saving, the admin runs a search that returns events with the 'src_ip' field, but the workflow action does not appear. What is the most likely cause?

The admin needs to restart Splunk for the change to take effect

The workflow action was not saved to the correct app or is not enabled

The 'src_ip' field is not extracted correctly in the search results

The workflow action must be added to a dashboard to appear

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

To provide a link from a search result to an external resource or another Splunk search

To restrict which users can view specific search results based on roles

To automatically run a saved search on a schedule and generate reports

To transform raw event data into structured fields during indexing

A Splunk admin manages a security operations center. Analysts frequently run a search for failed authentication events and then manually copy the source IP address from each event into a separate threat-intelligence portal to check reputation. The admin wants to reduce this manual effort by adding a link directly in the search results. What should the admin configure?

A Field extraction that automatically enriches the src field with threat-intelligence data

A Search workflow action that uses the $src$ token in the URL and is set to appear for the src field

A Report that runs the search and emails the results to the analysts

An Alert action that triggers a script to query the threat-intelligence portal
