Question: 1 / 400

What happens if the data argument is used without a format argument in makeresults?

It generates results in a default format

It will throw an error and fail to execute

The function `makeresults` in Splunk generates mock event data and is commonly used for testing and demonstration purposes. When the data argument is specified without a format argument, the behavior of `makeresults` does not result in an error; instead, it produces output in its default format.

The default behavior allows you to leverage the `makeresults` command effectively by automatically interpreting the data provided in a way that can be used in subsequent commands, such as creating fields for further analysis.

Considering this, the assertion that using `makeresults` without a format argument leads to an error is not accurate. Rather, the command can handle the absence of a format argument gracefully by proceeding with a standard output configuration. This enables users to still see the results being generated without interruptions in the form of errors.
