Question

Persistent kernel errors within the SSL VA devices can require full device replacements. In order to stay ahead of that, we are to check in Splunk for any potential errors in the system logs of all of our SSL VA devices so we can monitor them in a proactive way. From the below, pick out the correct Splunk search to spot the kernel errors for the SSL VA devices?

1) index=sslva sourcetype=systemlogs error kernel
2) index=sslva sourcetype=systemlogs error
3) index=sslva sourcetype=systemlogs kernel
4) index=sslva sourcetype=systemlogs

Answer 1

The correct Splunk search to spot the kernel errors for the SSL VA devices is option 3) index=sslva sourcetype=systemlogs kernel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct Splunk search to spot the kernel errors for the SSL VA devices is option 3) index=sslva sourcetype=systemlogs kernel.

This search query will filter the logs from the 'sslva' index and 'systemlogs' sourcetype, specifically looking for the kernel errors in those logs.

By using this search query in Splunk, you will be able to monitor the system logs of all the SSL VA devices and proactively identify any potential kernel errors.
