A customer wants to mask unstructured data before sending it to Splunk Cloud. Where should SEBCMD be configured for this?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To mask unstructured data before sending it to Splunk Cloud, the SEDCMD should be configured in the props.conf file on a Heavy Forwarder. The Heavy Forwarder is responsible for data parsing and transformation before forwarding the data to Splunk Cloud. This ensures that sensitive data is masked before it reaches the indexing stage.

C) transforms, cent on a Splunk Cloud indexer. Sounds like a party trick to me. Let's see if it can do the hokey-pokey too.

I agree with Virgie, because Heavy Forwarders are responsible for data routing and transformation before sending it to the indexer.
