Explanation

In props.conf, stanzas identify the data source to which transformations apply. The three valid stanza types for data modification are: Host (A) - matches based on the host field value; Source (C) - matches based on the source field value (e.g., a file path); and Sourcetype (D) - matches based on the sourcetype assigned to events. 'Server' (B) is not a valid stanza type in props.conf. Sourcetype stanzas are the most commonly used for applying field extractions, transforms, and other data modifications.
