Event processing occurs at which phase of the data pipeline?
What is an example of a proper configuration for CHARSET within props.conf?
What is the correct example to redact a plain-text password from raw events?
Answer : B
The correct answer is B. in props.conf:
[identity]
SEDCMD-redact_pw = s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g
s/password=([^,|/s]+)/ ####REACTED####/g
The g flag at the end means that the replacement is applied globally, not just to the first match.
Option A is incorrect because it uses the REGEX attribute instead of the SEDCMD attribute. The REGEX attribute is used to extract fields from events, not to modify them.
Option C is incorrect because it uses the transforms.conf file instead of the props.conf file. The transforms.conf file is used to define transformations that can be applied to fields or events, such as lookups, evaluations, or replacements. However, these transformations are applied after indexing, not before.
Option D is incorrect because it uses both the wrong attribute and the wrong file. There is no REGEX-redact_pw attribute in the transforms.conf file.
What event-processing pipelines are used to process data for indexing? (select all that apply)
Answer : B, D
A configuration file in a deployed app needs to be directly edited. Which steps would ensure a successful deployment to clients?
Answer : C
Therefore, option A is incorrect because it does not include the reload command. Option B is incorrect because it makes the change on a deployment client instead of the deployment server. Option D is incorrect because it changes the default directory instead of the local directory.
What event-processing pipelines are used to process data for indexing? (select all that apply)
Answer : B, C
The indexing pipeline and the parsing pipeline are the two pipelines that are responsible for transforming the raw data into events and preparing them for indexing. The indexing pipeline applies index-time settings, such as timestamp extraction, line breaking, host extraction, and source type recognition. The parsing pipeline applies parsing settings, such as field extraction, event segmentation, and event annotation.
