Question 31

Question

By default search results are not returned in ________ order.

Accepted Answer

Chronological

Ishaan K. · Answer

A/D? From what I've seen, Splunk doesn't default to chronological or alphabetical unless you add a sort. Not 100% but I think that's what they're getting at here. Anyone picked something else?

Parker W. · Answer

A and D

Ivy · Answer

Not sure it's B or C here. Both A and D trip folks up since Splunk's default isn't chronological or alphabetical, that's a common trap on questions like this.

Ishaan X. · Answer

Probably A and D. Splunk doesn't return search results sorted chronologically or alphabetically by default, it usually sorts on internal fields like _time or based on the search settings. You generally need to use the sort command if you want a specific order like A or D. Pretty sure about this but open if someone sees it differently.
