In which file can admins change the lookup case_sensitive_match option to false?

props.conf
transforms.conf
inputs.conf
outputs.conf

The correct answer is: transforms.conf

The lookup case_sensitive_match option is specific to the way Splunk handles case sensitivity when performing lookups with data. This option needs to be set in the transforms.conf file, as it is responsible for defining the settings related to lookups and transformations applied to events. When administrators want to modify lookup behaviors such as case sensitivity, they will specifically use transforms.conf to define how the data should be matched against the lookup tables. This file contains configurations that control various transformation settings, including lookups, field extractions, and more. The other configuration files serve different purposes: - props.conf deals with the initial parsing and indexing of data, such as data types and line-breaking settings. - inputs.conf is used for configuring data inputs and specifies where data comes from. - outputs.conf is concerned with how and where data should be sent out after processing. Therefore, recognizing that transforms.conf is where lookup-related options, including case sensitivity, are configured is crucial for effectively managing data lookups within Splunk.
