An admin is configuring a TCP input on a Splunk Cloud heavy forwarder to receive data from multiple devices. The admin wants to apply a specific source type to all data coming from a particular IP address, while other devices on the same port use a different source type. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Use a props.conf transform to override the source type based on the source IP.

Create separate TCP inputs for each source IP address.

Configure the source type in the TCP input and ignore the IP address.

Use a UDP input for the specific IP address.

When configuring a TCP input in Splunk, which of the following must be specified to define how incoming data is processed and stored?

The port number, source type, and index

The port number and the source type

The port number and the index only

The source type and the index only
