Splunk Fundamentals 1 Practice Exam

What is the file path for scripts that fire as the result of a scheduled report?

1. $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts

2. $SPLUNK_HOME/scripts

3. $SPLUNK/bin/scripts

4. $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/cgi-bin

The correct answer is: $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts

The file path for scripts that are triggered as a result of a scheduled report is located in the $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts directory. This directory is specifically designated for custom scripts that can be executed by Splunk during report execution. Scripts placed here can be used for various tasks such as alert actions or report outputs, allowing users to extend the functionality of Splunk reports. The use of $SPLUNK_HOME ensures that the path is dynamically adjusted based on the installation directory of Splunk, providing flexibility regardless of where Splunk is installed. Other options may reference common structure paths within Splunk's file architecture, but they do not point to the correct location for scheduled report scripts. Understanding the organization of Splunk's directory structure is crucial for utilizing and managing custom scripts effectively.
