Discuss Splunk SPLK-1005 Exam Topic 3 Question 29

In which file can the SH0ULD_LINEMERCE setting be modified?

Atransforms.conf

Binputs.conf

Cprops.conf

Doutputs.conf

Suggested Answer: C

The SHOULD_LINEMERGE setting is used in Splunk to control whether or not multiple lines of an event should be combined into a single event. This setting is configured in the props.conf file, where Splunk handles data parsing and field extraction. Setting SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true merges lines together based on specific rules.

I'm not confident, but I think outputs.conf is more about where data goes after processing, so it probably isn't that one.
