Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 61

Which of the following statements accurately describes using SSL to secure the feed from a forwarder?

Answer options

• A. It does not encrypt the certificate password.
• B. SSL automatically compresses the feed by default.
• C. It requires that the forwarder be set to compressed=true.
• D. It requires that the receiver be set to compression=true.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because SSL inherently performs compression when it is enabled, making it a default behavior. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the functionality of SSL in this context; SSL does not encrypt the certificate password, nor does it require specific settings on the forwarder or receiver to enable compression.
