A Splunk admin has a transform that should only apply to events that contain a specific keyword. The admin has configured the transform in props.conf, but it is being applied to all events. What is the most likely reason?

The transform uses a REGEX that matches all events, so it applies to everything.

The props.conf stanza is for the sourcetype, but the transform should be in a different stanza.

The transform is defined in the [default] stanza of transforms.conf.

The transform is applied at search time, not index time.

In Splunk, what is the primary purpose of a data transformation?

To create visualizations and dashboards from indexed data

To manage user authentication and access control

To permanently delete unwanted events from the index

To modify or enrich raw data during the parsing process before it is indexed
