   An admin is validating a new input in Data Preview. The preview shows that the raw data is being read, but the event display pane shows that some events are being dropped. The admin suspects that a parsing rule is dropping events. What should the admin do to confirm this?

   • AModify the line breaking settings to split events differently.
   • BReview the props.conf and transforms.conf settings for the sourcetype to check for TRANSFORMS rules that filter events.
   • CSet the host field to a static value to prevent event drops.
   • DChange the timestamp extraction to use a different timestamp format.

   A Splunk admin has configured a new file input for a web server access log. After saving the input, the admin opens Data Preview to validate event creation. The preview shows that the raw log lines are displayed, but the event display pane shows only a single event containing all the raw lines concatenated together. What is the most likely cause of this behavior?

   • AThe line breaking settings for the input are configured to treat the entire file as one event.
   • BThe host field is incorrectly assigned, causing Splunk to group all lines under one host value.
   • CThe timestamp extraction is failing because the log format is not recognized by the default sourcetype.
   • DThe input is using a monitor stanza that requires a manual restart before event breaking takes effect.
