What are the minimum required settings when creating a network input in Splunk?
When creating a network input in Splunk, the minimum required settings include specifying the protocol and the port number. The protocol determines how the data is sent (for example, TCP or UDP), and the port number specifies where the data will be received. These two settings are essential for establishing the network input and capturing data.
A is correct Data Admin - Slide 137
Agreed A. Quoting the Reference URL https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Admin/Inputsconf [tcp://<remote server>:<port>] *Configures the input to listen on a specific TCP network port. *If a <remote server> makes a connection to this instance, the input uses this stanza to configure itself. *If you do not specify <remote server>, this stanza matches all connections on the specified port. *Generates events with source set to "tcp:<port>", for example: tcp:514 *If you do not specify a sourcetype, generates events with sourcetype set to "tcp-raw"
A is correct
When you configure a network input you have to specify 4 configurations (only 2 are optional): - Protocol: TCP or UDP - Port - Source name override - Only Accept Conection from
A. Protocol, port number
