I disagree, I think it should be in /opt/splunk instead.

I vaguely recall something about /etc/system/default/ being a default path for some services, but I don’t think that’s it for Splunk.

I’m leaning towards /opt/splunk/ since it seems like a common path for applications, but I could be mixing it up with another tool.

I remember practicing a question about OpenTelemetry, and I feel like /etc/opentelemetry/ was mentioned, but it might not be the default for Splunk.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll start by checking the most likely locations, like /etc/otel/collector/ and /etc/opentelemetry/. If I don't find it there, I'll try searching the Splunk directory structure. Hopefully, that will lead me to the right answer.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I know Splunk has its own directory structure, but I'm not familiar with the specifics of the OpenTelemetry Collector setup. I'll have to make an educated guess on this.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. The configuration files could be in a few different locations, so I'll need to review the documentation to be certain.

Ah, the age-old question of where Splunk hides their config files. I bet it's /opt/splunk/ - that's where they stash everything else!
