Exam SPLK-2002 topic 1 question 4 discussion

Actual exam question from Splunk's SPLK-2002
Question #: 4
Topic #: 1
[All SPLK-2002 Questions]

A Splunk architect has inherited the Splunk deployment at Buttercup Games and end users are complaining that the events are inconsistently formatted for a web sourcetype. Further investigation reveals that not all web logs flow through the same infrastructure: some of the data goes through heavy forwarders and some of the forwarders are managed by another department.
Which of the following items might be the cause for this issue?

  • A. The search head may have different configurations than the indexers.
  • B. The data inputs are not properly configured across all the forwarders.
  • C. The indexers may have different configurations than the heavy forwarders.
  • D. The forwarders managed by the other department are an older version than the rest.

It's the B since they mention that the reason of the issue is that sourcetype if the only affecting the data which means that some inputs could have a wrong sourcetype name in the inputs.conf

Nope. We are talking about the same sourcetype, different parsing/format here.

I think answer is B, Why the configuration of indexer and Heavy forwarder should be same.

The correct answer is C. Alternative B cannot be since the UFs cannot be configured in the props.conf and neither does it contemplate the indexers.

That's not true. Props.conf can indeed be in Universal Forwarders. For example, EVENT_BREAKER properties are ONLY applicable in props.conf on UFs.

Question does not specify whether other forwarders are UFs. It only mentions heavy forwarders. Could be B.

For there to be a correct parsing of the data in the indexers and heavy forwarders, the same configuration must be used.
