What method is used to run a search for orphaned knowledge objects in Splunk Web?

  1. Search>Dashboards>Orphaned Scheduled Searches, Reports, Alerts

  2. Settings>Knowledge Management> Orphaned Objects

  3. Dashboard>Alerts> Orphan Detection

  4. Search>Alerts>Find Orphaned

The correct answer is: Search>Dashboards>Orphaned Scheduled Searches, Reports, Alerts

The correct method to run a search for orphaned knowledge objects in Splunk Web is found under the path that leads to Dashboards, specifically the section focused on orphaned scheduled searches, reports, and alerts. This method allows users to view and manage knowledge objects that are no longer associated with any applications or users, thus effectively cleaning up the environment and optimizing performance. This process is particularly important in maintaining a well-organized Splunk instance, as orphaned objects can consume resources and clutter the user interface without providing any value. By navigating through Dashboards and identifying these orphaned items, users can take necessary actions such as deleting or reassigning these objects, helping maintain the overall integrity and efficiency of their data management processes. The other choices either misrepresent the correct pathways or suggest incorrect functionalities that do not pertain to the discovery of orphaned knowledge objects specifically.
