Normalization in CIM aligns differing field names that represent the same type of data across multiple sources.
Extract: ''Field aliases and tags are used to map fields with different names but equivalent meaning, such as source_ip and src_ip.''
Thus, src_ip and source_ip should be normalized to represent a common standardized field.

C is important for indexing, but not as much as A.

I prefer D. It makes sense to link src_ip and src_port.

Wait, are we really normalizing src_ip and src_port? Seems odd.

A) src_ip, dest_ip makes sense for normalization.

I’m leaning towards D because src_ip and src_port are both related to the source of network connections, but I could be wrong.

I practiced a question like this before, and I feel like index and sourcetype are more about data categorization rather than normalization.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about source_ip being similar to src_ip. Maybe B is the right choice?

I think src_ip and dest_ip should definitely be normalized together since they both relate to network traffic.
