Question: 1 / 400

What is the return value of the coalesce function if all input values are NULL?

false

NULL

The coalesce function in Splunk is designed to return the first non-NULL value from a given list of arguments. If all input values to the function are NULL, there are no non-NULL values to return. As a result, the coalesce function will also produce a return value of NULL.

This behavior is fundamental to understanding how the coalesce function operates. It is particularly useful when dealing with fields that may not have values and allows users to provide defaults or ensure some value is returned, where applicable. In scenarios where all values are NULL, expecting a return of NULL aligns with the function’s intended purpose of finding a usable value among its input arguments.
