The correct answers are A and D.
According to the Get started with Splunk Observability Cloud document1, one of the topics that is covered in the Getting Data into Splunk Observability Cloud course is global and local data links. Data links are shortcuts that provide convenient access to related resources, such as Splunk Observability Cloud dashboards, Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise, custom URLs, and Kibana logs.
The document explains that there are two types of data links: global and local. Global data links are available on all dashboards and charts, while local data links are available on only one dashboard. The document also provides the following information about local data links:
Anyone with write permission for a dashboard can add local data links that appear on that dashboard.
Local data links can have either a Splunk Observability Cloud internal destination or an external destination, such as a custom URL or a Kibana log.
Only Splunk Observability Cloud administrators can delete local data links.
Therefore, based on this document, we can conclude that A and D are true statements about local data links. B and C are false statements because:
B is false because local data links can have an external destination as well as an internal one.
C is false because anyone with write permission for a dashboard can create local data links, not just administrators.
