When should the Data Preview feature be used?

Answer options

• A. When reviewing data on the source host.
• B. When extracting fields for ingested data.
• C. When validating the parsing of data.
• D. When previewing the data before searching.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Options A and B focus on reviewing or extracting data rather than validating parsing, while option D suggests a preliminary examination before a search, which does not directly relate to parsing validation.
