A log file contains events that do not have any timestamp. The admin wants these events to be indexed with the time they were ingested by Splunk. What is the default behavior?

Splunk drops the events because they lack a timestamp

Splunk uses the time of the first event in the file

Splunk assigns the file modification time as the event timestamp

Splunk assigns the current time at indexing as the event timestamp

An admin is concerned about duplicate events being indexed from a data input that is being read multiple times. What is the default behavior for duplicate events?

Splunk drops duplicates if they occur within a short time

Splunk only indexes the first occurrence and ignores subsequent reads

Splunk automatically deduplicates events based on a hash

Splunk indexes all duplicates as separate events

What does Splunk's default timestamp recognition primarily rely on to identify timestamps in event data?

The file modification time of the source

Recognizing common timestamp formats in the raw text

The order in which events are received
