Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

How can you list the content of a specific stanza in the inputs.conf file during index time?

1. ./splunk btool inputs stanza

2. ./splunk btool inputs list monitor

3. ./splunk btool inputs list monitor:///opt/log/ww1/access.log

4. ./splunk btool show inputs

The correct answer is: ./splunk btool inputs list monitor:///opt/log/ww1/access.log

The correct approach for listing the content of a specific stanza in the inputs.conf file during index time involves using the "monitor" command along with a specific file path. The choice that reflects this process accurately is the command that specifies the exact path of the file being monitored. Using the command formulated as "inputs list monitor:///opt/log/ww1/access.log" allows you to directly query and list the specific configuration associated with that particular monitored log file. This includes important settings such as the file's index, source type, and other configurations that govern how Splunk will collect and process the data from the designated log file. In contrast, other options either provide broader or incorrect ways to query stanzas without specifying the complete context required to focus on a single file, which is crucial for pinpointing specific configurations during monitoring.
