What configuration file identifies the TCPOUT in outputs.conf?

inputs.conf
deploymentclient.conf
props.conf
outputs.conf

The correct answer is: inputs.conf

The correct configuration file that identifies the TCPOUT attribute is indeed outputs.conf. This file is specifically designed to define how data is sent out from a Splunk instance, including specifying various types of output, such as forwarding data over TCP. In outputs.conf, the TCPOUT directive is used to define the settings for a TCP output group, which allows Splunk to send data to a remote Splunk indexer or another destination via TCP. Each TCPOUT block can contain settings related to the destination host, port, and other attributes that control the output behavior. The other options do not serve the purpose of defining TCPOUT. The inputs.conf file is focused on the data being ingested into Splunk, deploymentclient.conf relates to configuration for the deployment client, and props.conf is used to define how incoming data is parsed and indexed. Thus, outputs.conf is the file responsible for managing output configurations, including TCPOUT settings.
