Explain file precedence in splunk.
Answer / Naman Garg
In Splunk, the order of processing data files (known as forwarders) is determined by file precedence. By default, Splunk processes forwarded events in a round-robin fashion based on the event's timestamp. However, you can define custom file precedence by adding event_ts and sourcetype attributes to your forwarder's config file, which will control the order of processing events within a specific time range.
