[All SPLK-1002 Questions]

Consider the following search:

index=web sourcetype=access_combined

The log shows several events that share the same JSESSIONID value (SD470K92802F117). View the events as a group.

From the following list, which search groups events by JSESSIONID?

Aindex=web sourcetype=access_combined | highlight JSESSIONID | search SD470K92802F117

Bindex=web sourcetype=access_combined | transaction JSESSIONID | search SD470K92802F117

Cindex=web sourcetype=access_combined SD470K92802F117 | table JSESSIONID

Dindex=web sourcetype=access_combined JSESSIONID <SD470K92802F117>

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To group events by JSESSIONID, the correct search is index=web sourcetype=access_combined | transaction JSESSIONID | search SD470K92802F117 (Option B). The transaction command groups events that share the same JSESSIONID value, allowing for the analysis of all events associated with a specific session as a single transaction. The subsequent search for SD470K92802F117 filters these grouped transactions to include only those related to the specified session ID.

Haha, Option D is a bit too literal. Searching for 'JSESSIONID ' isn't going to cut it. I'd say Option B is the way to go.

I'm going with Option C. The vertical bar '|' and 'table' command will give me a nice list of all the JSESSIONID values, which is what the question is asking for.
