Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT a folder found under the /etc directory?

1. apps

2. configurations

3. system

4. users

The correct answer is: configurations

The correct choice is that "configurations" is not a folder typically found under the /etc directory in a standard Splunk environment. In the context of Splunk, the /etc directory primarily contains configuration files and directories related to the application. The known directories include "apps," which contains installed apps, "system," which holds system-level configuration files, and "users," which refers to user-specific configurations. The absence of a "configurations" folder aligns with standard directory structures in Splunk, where configurations are usually stored in the appropriate app or system folders rather than in a dedicated "configurations" directory. Therefore, the designation of "configurations" as not being a standard folder under /etc is accurate.
