Question: 1 / 400

Are the results created by the makeresults command stored permanently?

Yes, they are indexed

No, they are temporary and not saved

The makeresults command in Splunk is primarily used to generate dummy events for testing and demonstration purposes. When this command is executed, it creates results on the fly that are temporary in nature. They are not indexed, meaning they cannot be stored permanently in the same way that events from logs or other sources are. Once the search session ends, the results produced by makeresults will no longer be available.

The temporary nature of the results is essential for users who wish to test searches, build visualizations, or illustrate concepts without affecting the system's permanent indexed data. This functionality aligns with its purpose of providing a quick way to create sample data without having to rely on actual event data from data sources.
