Not B. PDF isn’t delimited, but A fits since CSVs are specifically built for delimiter extraction.
Hard to say, A. CSV files are the classic example since fields are separated by commas or other delimiters, which Splunk can easily extract. The others like XML or JSON need different extraction methods. Saw a similar question in a practice test.
A for sure. Only CSVs have fields split by delimiters, the others like XML or JSON use tags or keys. PDFs definitely not. Pretty confident unless Splunk changed something.
Why is Splunk even throwing PDF and XML in here? Probably A, CSV is the only one that makes sense.
Its A. CSV files use commas or other characters as delimiters, so delimiter field extraction fits perfectly for them. PDF and XML aren’t structured that way, and Splunk uses different methods for parsing those. Pretty sure about CSV here. If you think otherwise, let me know.
A seen similar in practice exams. CSV uses delimiters so works with this extraction method.
