Which of the following methods is valid for creating index-time field extractions?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The valid method for creating index-time field extractions is to create a configuration app that includes the necessary props.conf and/or transforms.conf configurations. This app can then be uploaded via the UI. Index-time field extractions must be defined in these configuration files to ensure that fields are extracted correctly during indexing.

Wait, we can use the rex command for index-time field extraction? That's news to me. Option D sounds like a sneaky workaround, but I'll stick with Option B just to be on the safe side.

I always forget that the rex command can be used for calculated fields. Option D could be a quick and dirty solution, but I'd prefer a more structured approach like Option B.

I've used the rex command before for quick extractions, but Option D does seem like a shortcut compared to the other methods.

I think Option A could work too, as long as you specify the field name and regular expression correctly.

Hmm, I'm not sure about using the CU app to define fields.conf settings. Isn't that meant for more advanced configurations? Option B seems safer to me.

Yeah, using the CU app for fields.conf settings might be more advanced than necessary.

Using the UI to create sourcetype and specify field name with regex is also a valid option.

I've used the UI to create sourcetypes before, and it's a pretty straightforward process. Option A might be a good choice if you don't want to deal with configuration files.

Option B seems to be the most comprehensive approach, as it allows you to manage the index-time field extraction settings directly in the configuration files.
