SEDCMD in Splunk is a feature used to perform transformations on raw data at index time. It is configured in the props.conf file and operates using a sed-like syntax to modify event data before it is indexed. Here's why the other options are incorrect:
A (True): SEDCMD is specifically designed to mask, truncate, or modify raw data by applying regular expressions. It is commonly used for tasks like removing sensitive information, truncating unnecessary parts of events, or anonymizing data
B (False): SEDCMD is configured only in props.conf, not in both props.conf and transforms.conf. While transforms.conf is used for other types of data transformations, SEDCMD does not rely on it
C (False): SEDCMD cannot manipulate the sourcetype per event. It works on the raw event data itself and does not have the capability to change metadata like sourcetype1
D (False): SEDCMD does not operate on a REGEX pattern match of the source, sourcetype, or host. Instead, it applies a regular expression directly to the raw event data (_raw) to modify its contents
