Where in the Admin tab are hashing algorithms turned on for events and flows?

Question

Options

• ALog Sources
• BFlow Sources
• CSystem settings
• DConsole settings

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  83% (20)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

System Settings (option C) is where hashing algorithms for events and flows are configured in the Admin tab. This centralized configuration area handles core platform behavior - including cryptographic settings like hashing - that affect how data is processed and stored across the entire system.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Log Sources) - manages the configuration of individual data sources that send event logs; it doesn't control how data is hashed.
• B (Flow Sources) - handles network flow data input configuration, not hashing behavior.
• D (Console settings) - typically covers UI/display preferences and console-level options, not data processing algorithms.

Memory tip: Think "System = System-wide behavior." Hashing is a platform-level security behavior applied broadly to events and flows, so it lives in System Settings - not in the source-specific tabs (Log Sources or Flow Sources) that only configure individual inputs.
