Question 34

Question

This is what Splunk uses to categorize the data that is being indexed.

Accepted Answer

sourcetype

Jack A. · Answer

Probably A, since sourcetype is what actually tells Splunk how to interpret and categorize the event data, not index or host. Index just decides where data lives. Let me know if you see it differently.

Logan · Answer

Option B Index is what I picked, since Splunk stores and sorts data into different indexes to keep things organized.

JordanW · Answer

A , based on what I've seen in the official Splunk docs and practice tests. Sourcetype is always mentioned as the main way Splunk categorizes incoming data. Index is just where it's stored.

Nathan J. · Answer

Its B for me. Index is what organizes and stores the data, so I figured that's what Splunk would use to categorize incoming events. Nice straightforward question layout here, pretty clear.
