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!

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.
