The top command in Splunk is used to find the most frequently occurring values in a dataset. Common constraints (arguments) for the top command include:
limit: Specifies the maximum number of results to return. For example, limit=10 will show the top 10 results.
showpercent: Controls whether percentages are displayed in the results. For example, showpercent=true will include a column showing the percentage of each value relative to the total.
Other options like countfield and showperc are not valid parameters for the top command. Let me know if you'd like further examples or clarifications!
"B" is the answer, as The question is asking about the common constraints that can be used with the top command in Splunk.By "valid constraint," I mean a parameter or option that is officially recognized and accepted by a specific command or function—in this case, the top command in Splunk. Valid constraints allow users to modify the behavior or output of the command according to their needs.Here’s a breakdown of the options:
A. limit, count:
limit specifies how many of the top values to return.
count is not a standard constraint for the top command.
B. limit, showpercent:
limit is valid.
showpercent indicates whether to show the percentage of each value relative to the total. This is also a valid constraint.
C. limits, countfield:
limits is similar to limit, but countfield is not a recognized constraint.
D. showperc, countfield:
showperc is similar to showpercent, but again, countfield is not a valid constraint.
The common constraints would be limit, showperc and countfield. The options are vague so either B or D seems like the same thing
- count is a field and not the constraint so A is definitely wrong
-"limits" does not exist so C is wrong
- between B and D, limits + showperc > countfield + showperc in terms of "common-ness" so I would mark B but D isn't incorrect either.
ignore me no count so D would be appropriated ..Top options : countfield , limit , otherstr, percentfield, showcount, showperc,useother.........count would be the "field" that will appear when you run top command
D
The others are present on top command but used other syntax.
The options available are: countfield=<string>, limit=<int>, otherstr=<string> (boolean to allow or string to name the column), percentfield=<string> or showperc=false... a.o.
