A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An analyst needs to tell complete transactions from evicted ones. Which field does Splunk say carries that?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
A group cut short by a limit is not the same as one that genuinely finished, and reporting on both together overstates how many completed. A flag on each result keeps the two apart.
Why D
Splunk states that evicted transactions can be distinguished from non-evicted transactions by checking the value of the closed_txn field, which is 0 for evicted and 1 for closed transactions.
