What is the default character encoding used by Splunk during the input phase?
Splunk uses UTF-8 as the default character encoding during the input phase. UTF-8 is a widely adopted character encoding standard that is capable of encoding all possible characters. It supports a large range of characters from different scripts and is backward compatible with ASCII, making it a universal encoding standard used by many systems, including Splunk for its flexibility and efficiency in encoding text.
A is correct
A. P207 Data admin pdf
Agreed A. Quoting the Splunk reference URL https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.1/Data/Configurecharactersetencoding "Configure character set encoding. Splunk software attempts to apply UTF-8 encoding to your scources by default. If a source foesn't use UTF-8 encoding or is a non-ASCII file, Splunk software tries to convert data from the source to UTF-8 encoding unless you specify a character set to use by setting the CHARSET key in the props.conf file."
UTF-8 and you can change it using the CHARSET attribute
