Exam SPLK-1005 Topic 8 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-1005 exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 8
Due to internal security policies, a Splunk Cloud administrator cannot send data directly to Splunk Cloud from certain data sources. Additional parsing and API-based data sources also need to be sent to Splunk Cloud. What forwarder type should the Splunk Cloud administrator use to satisfy these requirements within their environment?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Explanation: A heavy forwarder is appropriate in this scenario because it can perform additional data parsing, filtering, and routing before forwarding data to Splunk Cloud. This is particularly useful for data that requires preprocessing or cannot be sent directly due to security policies. [Reference: Splunk Docs on forwarder types and capabilities]
