Splunk Core Certified User Practice Exam

Which of the following properly indicates a duration of one week in Splunk?

1. w

2. wk

3. week

4. weeks

The correct answer is: w

The correct representation of a duration of one week in Splunk is "w". In Splunk's time modifiers, "w" is the designated shorthand for a week, making it a standardized way to express this time span in various commands and searches. When you need to perform time calculations or specify time ranges in your searches, using "w" simplifies the syntax and aligns with the conventions Splunk has established for time durations. The other options, while they may intuitively suggest the concept of a week, do not conform to the specific shorthand that Splunk recognizes for time calculations. Therefore, using "w" ensures consistency and accuracy when working with time-related data in Splunk.
