A Splunk admin is troubleshooting why data from a TCP input on port 9997 is not appearing in the expected index. The admin has verified that the input is configured correctly and that the forwarder is sending data. What is the most likely cause of the issue?

The forwarder is configured to send data to a different index than the one specified on the indexer's TCP input

The TCP input is configured on the wrong port

The TCP input is configured with the wrong host

The TCP input is configured with the wrong source type

An administrator needs to ingest syslog data from a network device that sends TCP traffic. Which Splunk Web navigation path is used to create a TCP network input?

Settings → Data inputs → TCP

Settings → Data inputs → Files & directories

Settings → Data inputs → Scripts

Settings → Data inputs → UDP

A Splunk admin is configuring a UDP input on port 1514 to receive syslog data. The admin notices that some events are being dropped under heavy load. What is the most likely reason for this, and what is the best solution?

UDP is connectionless and can drop packets under load; the admin should increase the Splunk UDP input buffer size or use TCP instead if the source supports it

The UDP input is configured with the wrong source type; the admin should change the source type to 'syslog'

The UDP input is configured with the wrong host; the admin should set the host to 'auto'

The UDP input is configured on the wrong port; the admin should change the port to 514

A network device sends log data using UDP packets to a Splunk indexer. Which Splunk Web navigation path is used to create a UDP network input?

Settings → Data inputs → TCP

Settings → Data inputs → HTTP Event Collector

Settings → Data inputs → Files & directories

Settings → Data inputs → UDP
