Splunk SPLK-1005 - Splunk Cloud Certified Admin

The delete command in Splunk does not remove events from disk but rather marks them as "deleted" in the index. This means the events are not accessible via searches, but they still occupy space on disk. Only users with the can_delete capability (typically admins) can use the delete command.

The regex replacement processor is part of the parsing stage in Splunk's data ingestion pipeline. This stage is responsible for handling data transformations, which include applying regex replacements.

D. Parsing pipeline is the correct answer. The parsing pipeline is where initial data transformations, including regex replacement, occur before the data is indexed. This stage processes events as they are parsed from raw data, including applying any regex-based modifications.

Data Processing Pipelines in Splunk

In Splunk Cloud, data is deleted from an index when the buckets roll to the frozen stage and no archive is defined. When data in a bucket reaches the frozen stage, it is deleted unless a frozen-to-archival script is configured to move the data elsewhere. This process is part of the index lifecycle management in Splunk.

Explanation: props.conf and transforms.conf define data parsing, transformations, and routing rules, making them essential for data transformations. [Reference: Splunk Docs on props.conf and transforms.conf]
