When adding a directory monitor and specifying a sourcetype explicitly, it applies to all files in the directory and subdirectories. If automatic sourcetyping is used, a user can selectively override it in which file on the forwarder?
When a directory monitor is set up with automatic sourcetyping, a user can selectively override the sourcetype assignment by configuring the props.conf file on the forwarder. The props.conf file allows you to define how data should be parsed and processed, including assigning or overriding sourcetypes for specific data inputs.

When creating a new index, which of the following is true about archiving expired events?
In Splunk Cloud, expired events can be archived to customer-managed storage solutions, such as on-premises storage. This allows organizations to retain data beyond the standard retention period if needed. [Reference: Splunk Docs on data archiving in Splunk Cloud]
A monitor has been created in inputs. con: for a directory that contains a mix of file types.
How would a Cloud Admin fine-tune assigned sourcetypes for different files in the directory during the input phase?
When dealing with a directory containing a mix of file types, it's essential to fine-tune the sourcetypes for different files to ensure accurate data parsing and indexing.
B . On the forwarder collecting the data, leave sourcetype as automatic for the directory monitor. Then create a props.conf that assigns a specific sourcetype by source stanza: This is the correct answer. In this approach, the Universal Forwarder is set up with a directory monitor where the sourcetype is initially left as automatic. Then, a props.conf file is configured to specify different sourcetypes based on the source (filename or path). This ensures that as the data is collected, it is appropriately categorized by sourcetype according to the file type.

By default, which of the following capabilities are granted to the sc_admin role?
By default, the sc_admin role in Splunk Cloud is granted several important capabilities, including:
indexes_edit: The ability to create, edit, and manage indexes.
fsh_manage: Manage full-stack monitoring integrations.
admin_all_objects: Full administrative control over all objects in Splunk.
can_delete: The ability to delete events using the delete command.
Option C correctly lists these default capabilities for the sc_admin role.
