SPLK-1003 · Question #120

Which setting allows the configuration of Splunk to allow events to span over more than one line?

The correct answer is A. SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true. Setting 'SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true' in props.conf instructs Splunk's line-breaking processor to merge multiple consecutive lines into a single event based on additional line-merging rules (such as BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE or BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE). Setting SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false (D)…

Explanation

Setting 'SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true' in props.conf instructs Splunk's line-breaking processor to merge multiple consecutive lines into a single event based on additional line-merging rules (such as BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE or BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE). Setting SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false (D) disables line merging, treating each line as a separate event. BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE and BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE are supplemental settings that only take effect when SHOULD_LINEMERGE is true.
