When does the CIM add-on apply preconfigured data models to the data?

ASearch time

BIndex time

COn a cron schedule

DAt midnight

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The Common Information Model (CIM) add-on in Splunk applies preconfigured data models to data at search time. This means that when a search is executed, the CIM add-on uses its predefined data models to normalize and map the relevant data to a common format. This approach ensures that data is interpreted and analyzed consistently across various datasets without modifying the data at index time.

B) Index time makes the most sense. Who wants to wait for a cron job to run when you can just do it on the fly?

C) On a cron schedule sounds more logical to me. Why would they do it at index time? Seems like it would slow down the whole process.

I believe it's at search time because that's when the data is actually being queried.

I'm pretty sure it's B) Index time. That's when the CIM add-on applies the preconfigured data models, right?
