Is the following format valid for stanzas in props.conf: [source:: /var/.../korea/*] CHARSET=EUC-KR?

Yes
No
Only for certain cases
Only for CSV files

The correct answer is: No

The format presented in the question is not valid for stanzas in props.conf. In props.conf, the correct syntax for specifying inputs for source types should not include spaces around the `::`. Rather, the format should follow the structure `[source::/var/.../korea/*]` without any spaces. Furthermore, the CHARSET attribute should be placed on a separate line without any leading spaces to clearly define the configuration for that specific stanza. The inclusion of spaces makes the key-value pairing ambiguous, which can cause Splunk to misinterpret the configuration. Therefore, adhering to the correct syntax is crucial for proper functionality, and that makes the answer you provided accurate regarding the validity of the format. This understanding is essential for configuring Splunk's props.conf correctly and ensuring accurate data indexing and processing.
