Question 2 of 209
The universal forwarder has which capabilities when sending data? (Choose all that apply.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B, D.

The universal forwarder has the capability to compress data before sending it. This helps in reducing the bandwidth usage while transmitting data to the receiving indexers. Additionally, the universal forwarder supports indexer acknowledgement, which ensures that the receipt of data has been confirmed by the indexer, thereby guaranteeing data integrity and completeness in the indexing process.

In case of a conflict between a whitelist and a blacklist input setting, which one is used?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

In case of a conflict between a whitelist and a blacklist input setting, the blacklist is used. This is because blacklist entries are typically given higher priority to prevent unintended or potentially harmful data from being processed, ensuring more stringent control over what is excluded.

Question 4 of 209
In which Splunk configuration is the SEDCMD used?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

The SEDCMD setting is used to mask or truncate raw data and is configured within the props.conf file. This configuration allows for modifications to event data before it is indexed, making it suitable for altering data that contains characters the third-party servers cannot process.

Question 5 of 209
Which of the following are supported configuration methods to add inputs on a forwarder? (Choose all that apply.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, B.

To add inputs on a forwarder, the supported configuration methods include using the Command Line Interface (CLI) and directly editing the inputs.conf file. The CLI allows you to define and manage inputs through Splunk commands. Editing the inputs.conf file manually provides a more direct and customizable approach to set up and manage data inputs. Other methods like Forwarder Management typically focus on deploying configurations across multiple forwarders rather than directly adding inputs on a single forwarder.
