Exam SPLK-1002 topic 1 question 153 discussion

B. Pipes When creating an event type in Splunk, you can use pipes (|) to chain multiple search commands together. Pipes allow for the transformation and filtering of search results effectively.

My option is B: Explanation: A. Joins: While joins may be technically possible in some queries, they can complicate event type definitions and are generally not recommended for simple event types. B. Pipes: This is correct. Pipes (|) can be used in the search string for an event type to chain commands together, allowing for the use of commands like stats, eval, or where within the event type definition. C. Subsearches: Subsearches can be complex and are typically not used in the definition of event types due to the potential performance and complexity issues. D. Tags: Tags are related to classification and organization of events but are not part of the search string when creating an event type. Therefore, the allowed element in the search string when creating an event type is B. Pipes.

Restrictions show only Join not listed in the restricted part of event type search strings "Restrictions Splunk software processes event types first by priority score and then by ASCII sort order. Search strings that define event types cannot reference tags, because event types are always processed and added to events before tags." "You cannot base an event type on a search that: Includes a pipe operator after a simple search. Includes a subsearch."
