What is a best practice for line breaking configuration to optimize performance?

Disable line merging when data is single-line to reduce processing overhead

Avoid using LINE_BREAKER and rely on default line breaking

Use SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true for all data sources to ensure no events are missed

Use complex regex with many alternations to handle all edge cases

You have configured a new LINE_BREAKER in props.conf for a custom data source. Before deploying to production, you want to verify that the line breaking works correctly on a sample file. Which method should you use to test the configuration?

Use the 'tstats' command to check event counts.

Restart Splunk and check the metrics.log file.

Run the search command 'index=_internal | head 10' to see the parsed events.

Use the Preview feature in Splunk Web when adding a new data input.

What is the purpose of the SHOULD_LINEMERGE setting in props.conf?

It forces every line to be a separate event

It determines whether Splunk should attempt to merge multiple lines into a single event

It specifies the maximum number of lines to merge

It defines the regular expression for event boundaries
