As a result of the cloned detector, which of the following is true?

An SRE came across an existing detector that is a good starting point for a detector they want to create. They clone the detector, update the metric, and add multiple new signals.

As a result of the cloned detector, which of the following is true?
A . The new signals will be reflected in the original detector.
B . The new signals will be reflected in the original chart.
C . You can only monitor one of the new signals.
D . The new signals will not be added to the original detector.

Answer: D

Explanation:

According to the Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document1, cloning a detector creates a copy of the detector that you can modify without affecting the original detector. You can change the metric, filter, and signal settings of the cloned detector. However, the new signals that you add to the cloned detector will not be reflected in the original detector, nor in the original chart that the detector was based on. Therefore, option D is correct.

Option A is incorrect because the new signals will not be reflected in the original detector. Option B is incorrect because the new signals will not be reflected in the original chart. Option C is incorrect because you can monitor all of the new signals that you add to the cloned detector.
