When using a nested search macro, how can an argument value be passed to the inner macro?

AThe argument value may be passed to the outer macro.

BAn argument cannot be used with an inner nested macro.

CAn argument cannot be used with an outer nested macro.

DThe argument value must be specified in the outer macro.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When using a nested search macro in Splunk, an argument value can be passed to the inner macro by specifying the argument in the outer macro's invocation (Option A). This allows the outer macro to accept arguments from the user or another search command and then pass those arguments into the inner macro, enabling dynamic and flexible macro compositions that can adapt based on input parameters.

D makes the most sense to me. You can't just pass the argument directly to the inner macro, it has to go through the outer one.

I disagree, I think the answer is D. The argument value has to be specified in the outer macro in order to be used by the inner macro.

B seems like the right choice to me. An argument cannot be used with an inner nested macro, so the value has to be passed through the outer macro.

That makes sense, the outer macro acts as a bridge for passing the argument value.
