Explanation

Clicking the risk event count link on a Risk Object within the Splunk ES Incident Review panel opens the Risk Event Timeline - a visualization that displays both associated threat objects across the environment and a chronological view of risk events tied to that specific object. This is the native, in-context path designed precisely for this use case.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A - The Risk Analysis Adaptive Response action triggers an investigative action (searching/enriching), not a visual timeline of risk events.
  • B - Workflow actions can launch external dashboards, but there is no standard "Risk Investigation dashboard" accessed this way for the chronological view described.
  • C - The Risk Analysis dashboard under Security Intelligence provides an environment-wide risk overview, not a per-Risk-Object chronological event timeline launched from within Incident Review.

Memory tip: Think "count → clock" - clicking the count of risk events opens the chronological (clock-ordered) Risk Event Timeline. The number is the door; the timeline is what's behind it.
