Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

Which command ensures that dependencies are checked when deleting an app?

1. Remove app command

2. Delete app command

3. Uninstall app command

4. Stop app command

The correct answer is: Remove app command

The command that ensures dependencies are checked when deleting an app is the Remove app command. When using this command, Splunk verifies whether there are any other applications or components that rely on the app you are trying to remove. This is crucial in maintaining the integrity of your Splunk environment, as inadvertently removing an app that is still being used by other applications could lead to unexpected behavior or errors. In contrast, the Delete app command lacks this dependency-checking functionality, making it possible to remove an app without awareness of its relationships with other apps. Similarly, the Uninstall app command and Stop app command do not perform this important check. These alternative commands may successfully remove the app but do so without regard for existing dependencies, which can lead to complications. Thus, the Remove app command uniquely provides a safeguard against such risks, ensuring that the operation is conducted carefully and correctly.
