A Splunk user is new to the platform and wants to understand how tags can help organize events. The user has events from different applications (web, database, and network) and wants to be able to quickly filter events by application type in searches. What is the primary benefit of using tags for this purpose?

Tags are only useful for security events and cannot be applied to other types of data.

Tags automatically extract fields from events, making it easier to search for specific values.

Tags replace the need for field extraction, so users do not need to know the underlying fields.

Tags allow the user to assign a custom label to events that can be used in searches to filter and group events.

When you rename a tag in Splunk, what is the effect on events that had the original tag?

The events are re-indexed with the new tag name

The original tag is removed and the new tag is applied to the same events

Only future events receive the new tag name

The events lose all tags and must be manually re-tagged
