Set 'host' to a value that includes a LINE_BREAKER regex

Set 'index' to a value that includes a LINE_BREAKER regex

Set 'sourcetype' to a value that includes a LINE_BREAKER regex

What is the purpose of setting the source type for a network input in Splunk?

To define how Splunk parses and formats the incoming data

To determine which index the data is stored in

To set the port number for the network input

To specify the hostname of the server sending the data

A Splunk admin is configuring a TCP input for a high-volume data feed. The admin wants to ensure that the input can handle bursts of data without dropping events. Which optional setting should be increased?
