Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 3

To set up a network input in Splunk, what needs to be specified?

Answer options

• A. File path.
• B. Username and password.
• C. Network protocol and port number.
• D. Network protocol and MAC address.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because setting up a network input in Splunk requires specifying the network protocol and the port number to listen for incoming data. Options A and B are irrelevant as they pertain to file inputs and user authentication, respectively, while option D incorrectly lists MAC address, which is not necessary for network input configuration.
