Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 9

Which Splunk indexer operating system platform is supported when sending logs from a Windows universal forwarder?

Answer options

• A. Any OS platform.
• B. Linux platform only.
• C. Windows platform only.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Splunk indexers can accept log data from any operating system, not just limited to Linux or Windows. Options B and C are incorrect as they restrict the platforms unnecessarily, and D is also wrong as it contradicts the capability of Splunk to work across various OS platforms.
