Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

What setting in props.conf enables the event breaker for single line events?

1. EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLED = false

2. EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLED = true

3. EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLE = yes

4. EVENT_BREAKER_ACTIVE = on

The correct answer is: EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLED = true

The correct setting in props.conf that enables the event breaker for single line events is the one that designates it as true. When this setting is enabled, it allows Splunk to recognize and process single-line events properly by breaking the incoming data into distinct events based on the criteria defined in the configuration. This is essential for accurate data indexing and searching, especially with data that does not contain explicit line-break characters or timestamps to differentiate events. In the context of Splunk's configuration, setting this parameter to true facilitates the handling of single-line events, ensuring that the data is ingested in a meaningful and searchable manner. This understanding of data segmentation is crucial for administrators tasked with optimizing data ingestion processes and maintaining efficient search capabilities in Splunk. Other options include variations in naming conventions and value assignments that do not align with valid Splunk configuration practices or simply do not enable the event breaker correctly. Therefore, only the correct setting ensures that single-line events are handled appropriately in the indexing process.
