Haha, option A made me chuckle. Queuing data and then sending it when Splunk restarts? That sounds more like a wishful thinking than a true statement!

This is a tricky one! I'd say the funniest answer is probably option A - 'If Splunk is restarted, data will be queued and then sent when Splunk has restarted.' That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

Option C sounds good to me. Since the connection_host is set to 'dns', the host value associated with the data should be the IP address that sent the data, not the Splunk server's IP.

Yes, setting connection_host to 'dns' should make the host value the IP address of the sender.

I'm leaning towards B) Local firewall ports do not need to be opened on the deployment client since the port is defined in inputs.conf. It just makes sense to me.

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is D) If Splunk is restarted, data may be lost because it's not guaranteed to be queued.

I'm not sure about option B. Even though the port is defined in inputs.conf, I think you'd still need to open the firewall ports on the deployment client to allow the traffic to flow through.
