A Universal Forwarder has the following active stanza in inputs . conf:
[monitor: //var/log]
disabled = O
host = 460352847
An event from this input has a timestamp of 10:55. What timezone will Splunk add to the event as part of indexing?
The correct answer is D. The timezone of the forwarder will be added to the event as part of indexing.
Use the time zone specified in raw event data (for example, PST, -0800), if present.
Use the TZ attribute set in props.conf, if the event matches the host, source, or source type that the stanza specifies.
If the forwarder and the receiving indexer are version 6.0 or higher, use the time zone that the forwarder provides.
Use the time zone of the host that indexes the event.
The other options are incorrect because:
Search heads in a company's European offices need to be able to search data in their New York offices. They also need to restrict access to certain indexers. What should be configured to allow this type of action?
The other options are incorrect because:
B) LDAP control is a feature that allows Splunk to integrate with an external LDAP directory service for user authentication and role mapping. LDAP control does not affect distributed search, although it can be used to manage user access to data and searches.
D) Search head clustering is a feature that distributes the search workload across a group of search heads that share resources, configurations, and jobs. Search head clustering does not affect distributed search, although the search heads in a cluster can search across the same set of indexers.
When deploying apps on Universal Forwarders using the deployment server, what is the correct component and location of the app before it is deployed?
The correct answer is C. On Deployment Server, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps.
The other options are incorrect because:
Windows can prevent a Splunk forwarder from reading open files. If files need to be read while they are being written to, what type of input stanza needs to be created?
The correct answer is C. MonitorNoHandle.
The other options are incorrect because:
An input stanza is a section in the inputs.conf configuration file that defines the settings for a specific type of input, such as files, directories, network ports, scripts, or Windows event logs. An input stanza starts with a square bracket, followed by the input type and the input path or name. For example, [monitor:///var/log] is an input stanza for monitoring the /var/log directory.

When should the Data Preview feature be used?
Timestamp recognition: You can verify that Splunk software correctly identifies the timestamps of your events and assigns them to the _time field.
Event breaking: You can verify that Splunk software correctly breaks your data stream into individual events based on the line breaker and should linemerge settings.
Source type assignment: You can verify that Splunk software correctly assigns a source type to your data based on the props.conf file settings. You can also manually override the source type if needed.
Field extraction: You can verify that Splunk software correctly extracts fields from your events based on the transforms.conf file settings. You can also use the Interactive Field Extractor (IFX) to create custom field extractions.
The other options are incorrect because:
B) When previewing the data before searching. The Data Preview feature does not allow you to search the data, but only to view how it will be indexed. To preview the data before searching, you can use the Search app and specify a time range or a sample ratio.
C) When reviewing data on the source host. The Data Preview feature does not access the data on the source host, but only the data that has been uploaded or monitored by Splunk software. To review data on the source host, you can use the Splunk Universal Forwarder or the Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux.
