In a deployment app's directory structure, what is the purpose of the 'default' folder?

To store user-specific settings for each individual user

To store temporary files generated during app execution

To store configuration files that are meant to be overridden by local settings

To store the app's default configuration and content that should not be edited directly

Why is versioning important for deployment apps?

It speeds up the indexing process

It prevents users from modifying the app

It allows the deployment server to track changes and roll back if needed

It is required by Splunk for all apps to run

A deployment app includes a props.conf that defines a custom sourcetype. The consultant wants to ensure that the sourcetype is only applied to data from a specific input. What is the best way to achieve this?

Use a global stanza in props.conf, such as [default].

Use a transforms.conf to set the sourcetype.

Use a source-specific stanza in props.conf, such as [source::/path/to/file].

Define the sourcetype in inputs.conf instead.
