QUESTION: 13

Which of the following statements is true about data transformations using SEDCMD?

Can only be used to mask or truncate raw data.
Configured in props.conf and transform.conf.
Can be used to manipulate the sourcetype per event.
Operates on a REGEX pattern match of the source, sourcetype, or host of an event.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

SEDCMD is a directive used within the props.conf file in Splunk to perform inline data transformations. Specifically, it uses sed-like syntax to modify data as it is being processed.
A . Can only be used to mask or truncate raw data: This is the correct answer because SEDCMD is typically used to mask sensitive data, such as obscuring personally identifiable information (PII) or truncating parts of data to ensure privacy and compliance with security policies. It is not used for more complex transformations such as changing the sourcetype per event.
B . Configured in props.conf and transform.conf: Incorrect, SEDCMD is only configured in props.conf.
C . Can be used to manipulate the sourcetype per event: Incorrect, SEDCMD does not manipulate the s ourcetype.
D . Operates on a REGEX pattern match of the source, sourcetype, or host of an event: Incorrect, while SEDCMD uses regex for matching patterns in the data, it does not operate on the source, sourcetype, or host specifically.

QUESTION: 14

Which of the following is correct in regard to configuring a Universal Forwarder as an Intermediate Forwarder?

This can only be turned on using the Settings > Forwarding and Receiving menu in Splunk Web/UI.
The configuration changes can be made using Splunk Web. CU, directly in configuration files, or via a deployment app.
The configuration changes can be made using CU, directly in configuration files, or via a deployment app.
It is only possible to make this change directly in configuration files or via a deployment app.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Configuring a Universal Forwarder (UF) as an Intermediate Forwarder involves making changes to its configuration to allow it to receive data from other forwarders before sending it to indexers. D . It is only possible to make this change directly in configuration files or via a deployment app: This is the correct answer. Configuring a Universal Forwarder as an Intermediate Forwarder is done by editing the configuration files directly (like outputs.conf), or by deploying a pre-configured app via a deployment server. The Splunk Web UI (Management Console) does not provide an interface for configuring a Universal Forwarder as an Intermediate Forwarder. A . This can only be turned on using the Settings > Forwarding and Receiving menu in Splunk Web/UI:
Incorrect, as this applies to Heavy Forwarders, not Universal Forwarders. B . The configuration changes can be made using Splunk Web, CLI, directly in configuration files, or via a deployment app: Incorrect, the Splunk Web UI is not used for configuring Universal Forwarders. C . The configuration changes can be made using CLI, directly in configuration files, or via a deployment app: While CLI could be used for certain configurations, the specific Intermediate Forwarder setup is typically done via configuration files or deployment apps.

QUESTION: 15

What does the followTail attribute do in inputs.conf?

Pauses a file monitor if the queue is full.
Only creates a tail checkpoint of the monitored file.
Ingests a file starting with new content and then reading older events.
Prevents pre-existing content in a file from being ingested.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The followTail attribute in inputs.conf controls how Splunk processes existing content in a monitored file.
D . Prevents pre-existing content in a file from being ingested: This is the correct answer.
When followTail = true is set, Splunk will ignore any pre-existing content in a file and only start monitoring from the end of the file, capturing new data as it is added. This is useful when you want to start monitoring a log file but do not want to index the historical data that might be present in the file. A . Pauses a file monitor if the queue is full: Incorrect, this is not related to the followTail attribute. B . Only creates a tail checkpoint of the monitored file: Incorrect, while a tailing checkpoint is created for state tracking, followTail specifically refers to skipping the existing content. C . Ingests a file starting with new content and then reading older events: Incorrect, followTail does not read older events; it skips them.
