What is a 'scheduled report' in Splunk?

A 'scheduled report' in Splunk refers to a report that runs automatically at specific intervals defined by the user. This feature allows users to automate report generation and delivery, making it more efficient to monitor data trends or other insights without manual intervention. Scheduled reports can be set to run daily, weekly, monthly, or at custom intervals, and users can also configure alerts and notifications based on the results of these reports.

The other options present scenarios that do not capture the full definition of what a scheduled report represents. For instance, a report that is manually created by the user does not imply automation and lacks the characteristics of scheduling. A report restricted to weekend runs is too specific and does not encompass the broader functionality of scheduling. Lastly, stating that a report is generated weekly by Splunk implies a fixed schedule rather than the flexible, automated capability that scheduled reports provide.
