C is spot on, Splunk does traverse directories!

For D, I vaguely recall that the forwarder doesn't need a restart for new log files, but I could be mistaken.

I practiced a similar question, and I think B is true since compressed files are usually ignored by default unless configured otherwise.

I'm not sure about A; I feel like not all text files are consumed, especially if there are certain filters in place.

Okay, let me review the options and see if I can identify the one that doesn't fit the typical use case.

Okay, the key here is that the architect chose to use Per-Hop Behavior. That narrows it down a bit.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, but I'm leaning towards B - a rule is an event handler registered for specific kinds of node events.

Ah, the age-old directory input dilemma. A, C, and D are like the holy trinity of Splunk knowledge. As for B, it's probably just there to see who's paying attention. I bet the Splunk devs have a good laugh every time someone gets caught out by that one.

Hmm, let me think... A, C, and D sound right. But B? Really? Maybe Splunk is trying to trick us here. I bet the compressed files are actually consumed by default. Time to consult the Splunk docs again...

I think I got it figured out. A, C, and D are correct. As for the compressed files, who cares? Just unzip them first and let Splunk do its thing. Easy peasy!

It's important to restart the forwarder when adding new log files to a monitored directory.

Hah, this is an easy one! A, C, and D are definitely right. I always forget about that compressed file thing though. Is it B or the other way around? Anyway, I'm confident I'll nail this question.

I'm pretty sure A, C, and D are correct. Splunk definitely recursively traverses directories, and the forwarder needs to be restarted to pick up new log files. But I'm not sure about the compressed files - I thought Splunk could handle those too.

Actually, compressed files are ignored by default, so B is the correct statement.
