Search-time field extractions are the process of extracting fields from events after they are indexed.

Search-time field extractions are specified on the search head, which is the Splunk component that handles searching and reporting. Search-time field extractions are configured in props.conf and transforms.conf files, which are located in the etc/system/local directory on the search head.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [About fields - Splunk Documentation]

The deployment server is a Splunk component that distributes apps and other configurations to deployment clients, which are Splunk instances that receive updates from the deployment server.

The deployment server can push apps to single, non-clustered Splunk instances, as well as universal forwarders, which are lightweight Splunk agents that forward data to indexers. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [About deployment server and forwarder management - Splunk Documentation]

The fishbucket is a directory that stores information about the files that have been monitored and indexed by Splunk. The fishbucket helps Splunk avoid indexing duplicate data by keeping track of file signatures and offsets. To reset the fishbucket for one source, the command splunk cmd btprobe can be used with the -reset option and the name of the source file. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

The setting that allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line is SHOULD_LINEMERGE. This setting determines whether consecutive lines from a single source should be concatenated into a single event. If SHOULD_LINEMERGE is set to true, Splunk will attempt to merge multiple lines into one event based on certain criteria, such as timestamps or regular expressions. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Reference: Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin | Splunk, [Configure event line merging - Splunk Documentation]

Different retention times: You can set different retention policies for different indexes, depending on how long you want to keep the data. For example, you can have an index for security data that has a longer retention time than an index for performance data that has a shorter retention time.

Restrict user permissions: You can set different access permissions for different indexes, depending on who needs to see the data. For example, you can have an index for sensitive data that is only accessible by certain users or roles, and an index for public data that is accessible by everyone.

The next step to enable the communication between the forwarder and the deployment server after installing a new forwarder with a manually created deploymentclient.conf is to restart Splunk on the deployment client. The deploymentclient.conf file contains the settings for the deployment client, which is a Splunk instance that receives updates from the deployment server. The file must include the targetUri attribute, which specifies the hostname and management port of the deployment server. To apply the changes in the deploymentclient.conf file, Splunk must be restarted on the deployment client. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

When using a directory monitor input, specific source types can be selectively overridden using props.conf. The props.conf file contains settings for parsing and indexing data, as well as search-time field extractions. The props.conf file can be used to assign or change source types for specific inputs using the sourcetype attribute. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
