I feel like option D sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it was specifically about key/value pairs or just general field extraction.

I think Splunk uses sourcetype to figure out which fields to extract, but I'm not sure if it's just that or if it also looks at key/value pairs.

I feel like Splunk does a lot of automatic field extraction, but I’m not confident about the specifics of how it decides what’s interesting.

I'm leaning towards option D because it sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it also considers user-defined fields.
