When using the props.conf LINE_BREAKER attribute to delimit multi-line events, the SHOULD_LINEMERGE attribute should be set to what?
When using the props.conf LINE_BREAKER attribute to delimit multi-line events, the SHOULD_LINEMERGE attribute should be set to what?
When using the LINE_BREAKER attribute in props.conf to delimit multi-line events, the SHOULD_LINEMERGE attribute should be set to false. This ensures that no further merging of lines occurs, as the LINE_BREAKER attribute already handles the event boundaries.
Should be D False
NOTE: You get a significant boost to processing speed when you use LINE_BREAKER to delimit multi-line events (as opposed to using SHOULD_LINEMERGE to reassemble individual lines into multi-line events). * When using LINE_BREAKER to delimit events, SHOULD_LINEMERGE should be set to false, to ensure no further combination of delimited events occurs. False is the answer.
False is the answer
D is the one, guys

If D how the mentioned multi-line event will be combined together? The answer is C. We're talking about multi-line events not single-line events. You can't work only with LINE_BREAKER
from props.conf documentation: You get a significant boost to processing speed when you use LINE_BREAKER to delimit multi-line events (as opposed to using SHOULD_LINEMERGE to reassemble individual lines into multi-line events). When using LINE_BREAKER to delimit events, SHOULD_LINEMERGE should be set to false, to ensure no further combination of delimited events occurs.
D. False
Seems it's A as talking about multi-line events as mentioned in props.conf doc: SHOULD_LINEMERGE = <boolean> * Whether or not to combine several lines of data into a single multiline event, based on the configuration settings listed in this subsection. * When you set this to "true", Splunk software combines several lines of data into a single multi-line event, based on values you configure in the following settings. * When you set this to "false", Splunk software does not combine lines of data into multiline events. * Default: true
Using the LINE_BREAKER setting to define event boundaries might increase your indexing speed, but is somewhat more difficult to work with. If you find that indexing is slow and a significant amount of your data consists of multiline events, this method can provide significant improvement. Specify a stanza in props.conf on the indexer or heavy forwarder that represents the stream of data you want to break directly into events. Configure the LINE_BREAKER setting with a regular expression that matches the boundary that you want to use to break up the raw data stream into events. Set the SHOULD_LINEMERGE setting to false.
