During search time, which directory of configuration files has the highest precedence?
During search time, which directory of configuration files has the highest precedence?
During search time, the directory of configuration files with the highest precedence is the user's specific app directory. This follows the hierarchical order where user-specific configurations override app-specific and system-wide settings. The order of precedence from highest to lowest is: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/<username>/<appname>/local, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/<username>/<appname>/default, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appname>/local, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appname>/default, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local, and finally $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default. Therefore, in general cases, the user's local directory under their specific application will have the highest precedence during search time.
Very tricky!!! Answer is NOT D as etc/users/admin/local is not a valid directory . it is missing the <user app>.... to be correct it would look like this... etc/users/admin/<app name>/local .. so answer is C. Also reference Data Admin class PDF page 20 search time precedence diagram..
What if "admin" in this case was the name of the application?
Apps don't go in the 'users' folder.
The question is about "search time" no "index time" (Global context) so the App/User context has the highest precedence, the answer is D https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.0/Admin/Wheretofindtheconfigurationfiles
It would be, but the directory name isn't valid
Can you explain better, please? On the documentation, it only says "$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/*". How is that invalid?
In the answer the /app_name/" segment of the path is missing
Agreed D. Adding further clarity and quoting same Splunk reference URL from @giubal" "To keep configuration settings consistent across peer nodes, configuration files are managed from the cluster master, which pushes the files to the slave-app directories on the peer nodes. Files in the slave-app directories have the highest precedence in a cluster peer's configuration. Here is the expanded precedence order for cluster peers: 1.Slave-app local directories -- highest priority 2. System local directory 3. App local directories 4. Slave-app default directories 5. App default directories 6. System default directory --lowest priority
It's C. If you have the 8.1 Data Admin PDF, look on page 259. "admin" still has to have an "app" directory under it. Also, according to Splunk, "admin" does not count as the "user"
Can you please share me Data Admin PDF <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8ee2efe2e7fae6efeaebf8e7a0fdebe9fbcee9e3efe7e2a0ede1e3">[email protected]</a>
did you got the pdf?

INDEX time: sys local, app local, app default, sys default SEARCH time: user app (user directory), running app (local and defautl), other apps (local and default), sys directories (local and default). so D!
very clear, thanks!
Answer should be A.
C is correct D is incorrect - path is missing app name (assuming local is not an app name)
A is correct, page 86-89 in System admin PDF
No Sorry, it says search time. Then it is D. Page 90, system admin PDF
Ok, don't listen to me. Like people has said. App is missing. Trick question. C all the way here
1. Current user directory for app etc/users/user/appname/local 2. App directory -running app etc/apps/appname/local etc/apps/appname/default 3. App directories -all other apps* etc/apps/appname/local etc/apps/appname/default 4. System directories etc/system/localetc/system/default PDF Page 341 Since the path of D is wrong, I would go with C as the next in line to take precedence and its the highest for this question
Answer is D ( considering search ) Reference - https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/manageknowledge/fileprecedence/
It would be, but the directory name isn't valid
global/index context 1.etc/system/local 2.etc/apps/app_name/local 3.etc/apps/app_name/default 4.etc/system/default User/app/search context 1.etc/users/system/local fallow by default 2.etc/apps/currently_running_app/local fallow by default 3.etc/apps/all_other_apps/local fallow by default 4.etc/system/local fallow by default
Answer: C
Answer C
If D have a correct dir (/etc/users/app_abcde/local) will be correct, but in this case is C
Answer D is correct.
The question is about search-time precedence, answer D is correct.
D is very tricky! It would have been the correct answer if it was D. $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/admin/app_name/local Since there is no app in the path it doesn't exist.
It’s ‘D’. During search time, the directory of configuration files with the highest precedence is: **D. $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/admin/local** The order of precedence for configuration files in Splunk, from highest to lowest, is as follows: 1. **$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/<username>/<appname>/local** 2. **$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/<username>/<appname>/default** 3. **$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appname>/local** 4. **$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appname>/default** 5. **$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local** 6. **$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default** This hierarchy ensures that user-specific settings (which are stored in the `$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users` directory) take precedence over app-specific settings and system-wide settings.
