As of Splunk 9.0, which index records changes to . conf files?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

This is the index that records changes to .conf files as of Splunk 9.0.According to the Splunk documentation1, the _configtracker index tracks the changes made to the configuration files on the Splunk platform, such as the files in the etc directory.The _configtracker index can help monitor and troubleshoot the configuration changes, and identify the source and time of the changes1. The other options are not indexes that record changes to .conf files.Option B, _introspection, is an index that records the performance metrics of the Splunk platform, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network usage2.Option C, _internal, is an index that records the internal logs and events of the Splunk platform, such as splunkd, metrics, and audit logs3.Option D, _audit, is an index that records the audit events of the Splunk platform, such as user authentication, authorization, and activity4. Therefore, option A is the correct answer, and options B, C, and D are incorrect.

_internal doesn't track .conf changes, just FYI.

I vaguely recall that _audit tracks changes, but I don't remember if it specifically covers .conf files.

I feel like _introspection is related to internal metrics, not config changes. But I could be wrong.

Aha, I remember learning about the _introspection index in my Splunk training. That's where Splunk stores information about its own internal operations, including configuration changes.

The _audit index is where Splunk logs security-related events, so that's not the right answer. Let me review the other options more closely.
