Answers
D.

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

In a managed Splunk Cloud environment, HTTP Event Collector (HEC) tokens are configured by an administrator through the Splunk Web interface. When setting up a new HEC input, a unique token is automatically generated. This token is then provided to application developers, who will use it to authenticate and send data to Splunk via the HEC endpoint.

This token ensures that the data is correctly ingested and associated with the appropriate inputs and indexes. Unlike the other options, which either involve external tokens or support cases, option B reflects the standard procedure for configuring HEC tokens in Splunk Cloud, where control over tokens remains within the Splunk environment itself.

Reference: Splunk's documentation on HEC inputs provides detailed steps on creating and managing tokens within Splunk Cloud. This includes the process of generating tokens, configuring data inputs, and distributing these tokens to application developers.
