This is because the input type is UDP, which is an unreliable protocol that does not guarantee delivery, order, or integrity of the data packets. UDP does not have any mechanism to resend or acknowledge the data packets, so if Splunk is restarted, any data that was in transit or in the buffer may be dropped and not indexed.

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.0/Data/Specifyinputpathswithwildcards... The ellipsis wildcard searches recursively through directories and any number of levels of subdirectories to find matches.If you specify a folder separator (for example, //var/log/.../file), it does not match the first folder level, only subfolders.* The asterisk wildcard matches anything in that specific folder path segment.Unlike ..., * does not recurse through subfolders. 

When using a directory monitor input, specific source types can be selectively overridden using the props.conf file.According to the Splunk documentation1, ''You can specify a source type for data based on its input and source. Specify source type for an input. You can assign the source type for data coming from a specific input, such as /var/log/. If you use Splunk Cloud Platform, use Splunk Web to define source types. If you use Splunk Enterprise, define source types in Splunk Web or by editing the inputs.conf configuration file.'' However, this method is not very granular and assigns the same source type to all data from an input.To override the source type on a per-event basis, you need to use the props.conf file and the transforms.conf file2.The props.conf file contains settings that determine how the Splunk platform processes incoming data, such as how to segment events, extract fields, and assign source types2.The transforms.conf file contains settings that modify or filter event data during indexing or search time2.You can use these files to create rules that match specific patterns in the event data and assign different source types accordingly2.For example, you can create a rule that assigns a source type of apache_error to any event that contains the word ''error'' in the first line2.

According to the Splunk documentation1, to customize a configuration file, you need to create a new file with the same name in a local or app directory. Then, add the specific settings that you want to customize to the local configuration file. Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory. The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original location. The Splunk Enterprise upgrade process overwrites the default directory.To deploy configuration files to deployment clients, you need to use the deployment server.The deployment server is a Splunk Enterprise instance that distributes content and updates to deployment clients2.The deployment server uses a directory called $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps to store the apps and configuration files that it deploys to clients2.To update the configuration files in this directory, you need to edit them manually and then run the command $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/sp1unk reload deploy---server to make the changes take effect2.Therefore, option A is incorrect because it does not include the reload command. Option B is incorrect because it makes the change on a deployment client instead of the deployment server. Option D is incorrect because it changes the default directory instead of the local directory.
