Master Splunk Fundamentals 2025 – Ace the 1st Test with Flair!

The default search results view in Splunk is the List view. This view provides a concise overview of the events returned by a search, displaying fields that are most relevant in a straightforward format. In the List view, each event is represented as a row, allowing users to quickly scan through the results while easily accessing important details of each event.

While the other views, like Grid, Raw, and Table, offer different ways to visualize and explore search results, they serve specific purposes that may not align with the standard presentation of data. For instance, the Raw view displays the complete raw events without any field extraction, which is useful for deep dives into the data but less so for a quick overview. The Table view presents the search results in a structured grid format, which can be helpful for aggregating data and comparing values, but it is not the default. The Grid view provides a more visual representation that may work well for certain data types but is not the initial setting when you first conduct a search in Splunk.

Therefore, the List view is the most commonly used and immediate way to present and access the data after performing a search, making it the default option in Splunk.
