How is data handled by Splunk during the input phase of the data ingestion process?
During the input phase of the data ingestion process in Splunk, data is handled as streams. This involves opening and reading data sources, and applying configuration settings to the entire data stream. The initial handling of data in stream form is fundamental before it proceeds to the subsequent phases of parsing and indexing.
A. Data is handled as streams during input phase. ref. Data Admin course pdf, slide 14
Agreed answer is A. Quoting the reference URL https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Deploy/Datapipeline "In the input segment, Splunk software consumes data. It acquires the raw data stream from its source, breaks in into 64K blocks, and annotates each block with some metadata keys."
Correct Ans is ( A) per Data Admin pdf page 201
A. Data is treated as streams. Correct Answer per Data Admin pdf
as streams
Ans is A. DataAdmin Index-Time Process 1. Input phase: Handled at the source (usually a forwarder) – The data sources are being opened and read – Data is handled as streams; configuration settings are applied to the entire stream 2. Parsing phase: Handled by indexers (or heavy forwarders) – Data is broken up into events and advanced processing can be performed 3. Indexing phase: Handled by indexers – License meter runs as data is initially written to disk, prior to compression – After data is written to disk, it cannot be changed
Data is handled as streams then parsed and written to disk so answer is A
Data Admin pg 200 | input phase data handled as streams Answer A
The correct answer is A which is done in the input phase while the writing to disk is complete in the indexing phase https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Deploy/Datapipeline
A. Data is treated as streams.
