Splunk Core Certified User Practice Exam

The correct choice is related to the ability to manage alert notifications in Splunk effectively. Throttling is a method used to prevent the alert from triggering too frequently. By implementing a throttle, you can specify a timeframe during which a particular alert will not generate additional notifications if it has already been triggered. This is crucial for avoiding alert fatigue and ensuring that users only receive meaningful alerts without overwhelming them with repeated notifications.

When considering the context of the other choices, they either relate to enabling the alert or setting restrictions that do not specifically pertain to suppression. For instance, enabling an alert simply means that it is active and can trigger, while the terms suppress and limit do not directly define the method used to control frequency of alert notifications. Thus, throttling stands out as the clear mechanism for adding suppression rules effectively in an alert configuration.
