Immediately after installation, what will a Universal Forwarder do first?
A. Automatically detect any indexers in its subnet and begin routing data.
B. Begin generating internal Splunk logs.
C. Begin reading local files on its server.
D. Send an email to the operator that the installation process has completed.
Explanation: Immediately after installation, a universal forwarder will start generating internal Splunk logs that contain information about its own operation, such as configuration changes, data inputs, and forwarding activities1. These logs are stored in the $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk directory on the universal forwarder machine1. The universal forwarder will not automatically detect any indexers in its subnet and begin routing data, as it needs to be configured with the IP address and port number of the indexer or the deployment server2. The universal forwarder will not begin reading local files on its server, as it needs to be configured with the data inputs that specify which files or directories to monitor2. The universal forwarder will not send an email to the operator that the installation process has completed, as this is not a default behavior of the universal forwarder and would require additional configuration3.
Which option accurately describes the purpose of the HTTP Event Collector (HEC)?
A. A token-based HTTP input that is secure and scalable and that requires the use of forwarders
B. A token-based HTTP input that is secure and scalable and that does not require the use of forwarders.
C. An agent-based HTTP input that is secure and scalable and that does not require the use of forwarders.
D. A token-based HTTP input that is insecure and non-scalable and that does not require the use of forwarders.
"The HTTP Event Collector (HEC) lets you send data and application events to a Splunk deployment over the HTTP and Secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocols. HEC uses a tokenbased authentication model. You can generate a token and then configure a logging library or HTTP client with the token to send data to HEC in a specific format. This process eliminates the need for a Splunk forwarder when you send application events."
Which of the following configuration files are used with a universal forwarder? (Choose all that apply.)
A. inputs.conf
B. monitor.conf
C. outputs.conf
D. forwarder.conf
Key configuration files are: inputs.conf controls how the forwarder collects data. outputs.conf controls how the forwarder sends data to an indexer or other forwarder server.conf for connection and performance tuning deploymentclient.conf for connecting to a deployment server.
Event processing occurs at which phase of the data pipeline?
A. Search
B. Indexing
C. Parsing
D. Input
Explanation: According to the Splunk documentation1, event processing occurs at the parsing phase of the data pipeline. The parsing phase is where Splunk software processes incoming data into individual events, extracts timestamp information, assigns source types, and performs other tasks to make the data searchable1. The parsing phase can also apply field extractions, event type matching, and other transformations to the events2.
How is data handled by Splunk during the input phase of the data ingestion process?
A. Data is treated as streams.
B. Data is broken up into events.
C. Data is initially written to disk.
D. Data is measured by the license meter.
"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."
After automatic load balancing is enabled on a forwarder, the time interval for switching indexers can be updated by using which of the following attributes?
A. channelTTL
B. connectionTimeout
C. autoLBFrequency
D. secsInFailurelnterval
