Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

Can an Add-on be opened from the Splunk Enterprise Home Page?

1. Yes, always

2. No, it cannot

3. Only if given special permissions

4. It can sometimes depend on the configuration

The correct answer is: No, it cannot

An Add-on cannot be opened directly from the Splunk Enterprise Home Page. Add-ons are typically used to extend the capabilities of Splunk by providing additional knowledge, field extractions, or data inputs specific to certain data sources or applications. They are not displayed on the Home Page as standalone entities for direct access. The Home Page primarily focuses on providing a user-friendly dashboard for monitoring data, visualizations, and dashboards. Accessing Add-ons generally requires navigating through the Splunk interface’s app management features rather than directly from the Home Page. This separation allows for a clearer distinction between the core functionality of Splunk and the additional features provided by Add-ons. While other choices suggest various conditions under which an Add-on might be accessed, the core understanding remains that the Home Page does not offer direct access to Add-ons. Users typically manage Add-ons through the appropriate app management or settings area of Splunk rather than from the Home Page interface.
