Splunk Exam SPLK-5002 Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion
Topic #: 1
What Splunk process ensures that duplicate data is not indexed?
Splunk prevents duplicate data from being indexed through event parsing, which occurs during the data ingestion process.
How Event Parsing Prevents Duplicate Data:
Splunk's indexer parses incoming data and assigns unique timestamps, metadata, and event IDs to prevent reindexing duplicate logs.
CRC Checks (Cyclic Redundancy Checks) are applied to avoid duplicate event ingestion.
Index-time filtering and transformation rules help detect and drop repeated data before indexing.
Incorrect Answers: A. Data deduplication -- While deduplication removes duplicates in searches, it does not prevent duplicate indexing. B. Metadata tagging -- Tags help with categorization but do not control duplication. C. Indexer clustering -- Clustering improves redundancy and availability but does not prevent duplicates.
