Question 72 - SPLK-2003 discussion

The asset ingestion setting 'Polling Interval' within Splunk SOAR determines how frequently the SOAR platform will poll an asset to ingest data. This setting is crucial for assets that are configured to pull in data from external sources at regular intervals. Adjusting the polling interval allows administrators to balance the need for timely data against network and system resource considerations.

An asset ingestion setting is a configuration option that allows you to specify how often SOAR should poll an asset for new data. Data ingestion settings are available for assets such as QRadar, Splunk, and IMAP. To configure ingestion settings for an asset, you need to navigate to the Asset Configuration page, select the Ingest Settings tab, and edit the Polling Interval field. The Polling Interval is the number of seconds between each poll request that SOAR sends to the asset. Therefore, option A is the correct answer, as it is the only option that is an asset ingestion setting in SOAR. Option B is incorrect, because Tag is not an asset ingestion setting, but a way of labeling an asset for easier identification and filtering. Option C is incorrect, because File format is not an asset ingestion setting, but a way of specifying the format of the data that is ingested from an asset. Option D is incorrect, because Operating system is not an asset ingestion setting, but a way of identifying the type of system that an asset runs on.
