Question 500
At the Eastbrook property management business, two collectors forward the same cloud audit record and Splunk counts each administrative action twice. How should the organization sustain the improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The needed prevention is to monitor duplicate event fingerprints after collector configuration changes. It directly sustains the original change to identify duplicate collection paths and apply documented ingestion deduplication or source selection.
Incorrect Answers
The suggested preventive check is: Review sourcetype extraction after cloud log schema changes. Its technical scope concerns: Poor parsing undermines reliable temporal searches and detections. This question asks how to sustain control over: Repeated event forwarding can inflate detections and investigation metrics. The more targeted safeguard is: Monitor duplicate event fingerprints after collector configuration changes.
Refresh dependency maps after application upgrades. That safeguard would help prevent recurrence of: Flat internal trust allows a compromised cloud workload to reach unrelated services. The risk being reviewed here is instead: Repeated event forwarding can inflate detections and investigation metrics. The matching ongoing control is: Monitor duplicate event fingerprints after collector configuration changes.
That routine supports workload admission security, but the relevant ongoing risk requires the team to monitor duplicate event fingerprints after collector configuration changes. For the Eastbrook property management business, the direct corrective action is to identify duplicate collection paths and apply documented ingestion deduplication or source selection.
