Pretty sure it writes to the Archiver, not the Decoder.

Surprised it doesn't add the new Event Source automatically!

No way, it should just ignore the log.

I think it goes to the Decoder in transient mode.

I definitely recall that it doesn’t just ignore the log, but I can’t remember if it writes to the Archiver or not.

I’m leaning towards option B, but I could also see it adding the new Event Source to the list. It’s a bit confusing.

I remember a practice question about how NetWitness handles unknown event sources, and I feel like it might ignore the log altogether.

I think the log gets parsed to the Decoder, but I'm not sure if it's in transient mode or not.

D seems like the most straightforward answer to me. If the event source doesn't exist, it would just ignore the log altogether. But I'm not totally confident, so I'll have to double-check my understanding.

Okay, I've got it! The correct answer is C. NetWitness would automatically add the new event source to the existing list, so it can properly process logs from that source going forward.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know NetWitness has a lot of different components, so it could be doing something more complex like writing to the Archiver but not the Decoder. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the answer is B. If the event source doesn't exist, it would parse the log to the Decoder but only in transient mode, not permanently adding it to the list.

I'm going with Option B. Parsing the log in transient mode is a good compromise - it can still process the data without permanently adding the new source. And hey, at least it's not ignoring the log completely, right?

It's better than ignoring the log completely, that's for sure.

Option D is just plain lazy. Ignoring the log altogether? What is this, 1990? NetWitness should be all about capturing and analyzing every bit of data it can get its hands on.

I agree with Laurel. Option C is the way to go. NetWitness needs to be dynamic and adapt to new event sources, not just ignore them.
