In Splunk's parsing pipeline, when does SEDCMD run relative to regex transforms (TRANSFORMS)?

SEDCMD runs before regex transforms

SEDCMD runs after regex transforms

The order depends on the configuration file

SEDCMD and regex transforms run simultaneously

An admin has added a SEDCMD to transforms.conf to replace 'ERROR' with 'ERR' in application logs. After restarting Splunk, the admin wants to verify the change is applied to new data. What is the most reliable way to confirm the SEDCMD is working?

Ingest a test event and search for the raw data to see if 'ERR' appears.

Check the transforms.conf file for syntax errors.

Restart Splunk again to ensure the config is loaded.

Use the rex command to test the substitution on sample data.

An admin has a sourcetype where SEDCMD removes sensitive data (e.g., replaces 'ssn=123-45-6789' with 'ssn=XXX-XX-XXXX') and a regex transform that extracts the SSN into a field. The admin wants to ensure the field extraction also masks the value. What is the best approach?

Apply the SEDCMD at search time instead of index time.

Configure the regex transform to run after SEDCMD.

Modify the regex transform to extract from the masked format.

Use a search-time eval to mask the field after extraction.
